Strange. Surely they could have thought of the Christmas market earlier, if that is the case?
Maybe they are having manufacturing problems. Since they donīt seem to be giving a specific release date I think that is most likely the reason. As someone mentioned, it could be because of the vinyl.
Orders need to be put in months and months ahead for vinyl releases, due to demand. One album I bought this summer [[Marina) was only out on CD, with the vinyl to follow in February next year! The latest Lana Del Rey album was pushed back several months altogether, when it became clear that the vinyl would not be ready on release date.
I am a little disappointed since I am looking so much forward to the album. But hey, it will still be out before we know it!

Shame .
Historically so much of sales depended on pressings and distribution. I can recall being unable to refill our THRILLER orders ....the #1 LP at the time. Many many orders of singles came up empty handed....
Tower Records had the coolest display above their 45 section ... a wall of Billboard's Hot 100 singles in order. Easily a third of the cubbies would be empty.
Some things never change it appears .
