Probably I am missing something here, but, isn't the release date
20061101? If so, why the early shipping? Just out of curiosity.
It has always been this way. Nico forgot to add your question in his
very short explanation of 'the way it is'.
Pressing, Printing, Packaging, Shipping -- these are all done early as
necessary to ensure that the pre-ordered CD's arrive BEFORE the
release date.
So,
If the CD's have been printed and packaged earlier than expected and
are sitting around in somebody's living room -- why not begin shipping
them off?
Consequently,
Those who make pre-orders are often rewarded specialy, getting the
release earlier than those who did not pre-order. This is not WHY,
this is just a consequence of good time management.
I can't wait to see this post next release, too :) (only because I
always enjoy releases)
