This isn't a big deal, but the shops often have release for the following Monday by Thursday. In this case Warp are keeping it back as late as possible to keep everyone aligned.
For the record; I don't think it would be fair to the peeps keeping it real on vinyl and supporting their local and specialist retailers if Bleep busted out the downloads early. Just because it's leaking out all over place now it's not a reason to bring anything forward.
it hasn't leaked. it's been released.
The flacs/mp3s that are on the net are from legitimate downloads from Japanese iTunes and rips from legitimate copies of the cd bought in Japanese shops on the day of release.
I meant leaking out of Japan, not being leaked. Perhaps I should have said seeping out.
They're not legit to people outside Japan! The argument seems to be "I can download it illegally: therefore release it now". No. You don't live in Japan, so you have to wait a few more days. Or, y'know, just get it illegally.
