I've no knowledge of this happening but it could be common practise for all
I know. The only reason I can think of is that they may intend to release
ETM over here and don't want to spoil the sales. With the different record
companies on either side of the Atlantic this probably makes a difference.
If it does mean that they intend to release ETM here then it's good news
actually.

Perhaps your best bet is to order from overseas. Scott did this so why not
ask him for details?
