2020: The New Album

Aloha !

Meh, it's really not that common like the internet would like you to believe.

When I was in Russia I went to several CD stores. Both sketchy stores and "official" ones like HMV in the UK is/was. They really mostly sell original stuff. Even the stores selling bootlegs don't really sell knock-offs. Those who still buy CD's over there don't care for unofficial stuff, a second hand CD costs about half of what a new one costs in Europe so if you're buying a second hand CD there you want it to be an official one.

Salaam Aleikum,

Nowadays bootleg CDs are mostly distributed through the internet, but it's been prevelant since back in the 80s when a lot of western music just wasn't released in Russia. Russia and China have always been kings of the knock off, but of course they are not going to be sold in HMV type stores. If you buy a professional looking bootleg online it will almost certainly come from one of those countries. Not just CDs, but DVD/Blurays too.

Has anyone received the vinyl yet and if so how does it sound? Apparently the US. Official shop had sent some out. Also does it include Luv Can and shine?

No idea.
I received an email saying my bundle was shipped: Black T-Shirt + Vinyl Album.
Today I received only the T-Shirt.
I checked the store and it says "Preorder. Due to a production delay, this item's ship date is TBD."

Cheers hopefully we get it sooner rather than later!

Very fitting...Sleepy Joe and Voiceless Jon. I expect Alicia Keys will be singing for Kamala.

Jon should come out with a song called ‘Predicable’, he could use the riff and song structure from ‘Unbreakable’. Anybody want to have a go? Lol

Let me guess: he'll perform Do What You Can?

Hahahha probably yes, but I wish he'd sing Let It Rain... Some sort of acoustic version, doesn't matter, it would fit so much more with the whole context.

Let It Rain is an excellent shout from whoever made it. Symbolism would work nicely.
