Sometimes the plant is slow. Sometimes the plant is fast. Sometimes the printed art comes back early, sometimes it does not. Here's a little surprising thing. There is no machine in Canada which can do inserts into this particular CD case (becuase of the swing tray) so all the parts have to be hand assembled. This time the CDs came very early. But not everything came fast - in Canada we still do not have the new tshirts. We may do the actual release a little bit earlier. We'll see.
