Seems like it will be more widely available since Fat Possum is putting it out. It would be cool if they did a special edition but I'm not sure they've done that for an AH record before.
so i know fat possum did the distribution for Maps, but it was still backwoodz. this one is really having no backwoodz involvement? strange, my postcard showed up yesterday.
I believe so. This is all I have to go on:
For me in the UK Maps, much like Shrines have been bad experiences for me trying to get from here or the EU. Juno this time for Maps and HHV last time for Shrines, I’m hope I’m wrong but they have differing place holder dates up. Had to buy Shrines flipped on Discogs and am patiently waiting for an update from Juno but it is becoming apparent that they will not be sending me my order. If this is with the new improved disto then I hope it improves. They need to up the press numbers to stop this.

Apparently rough trade was sending out emails about copies of Maps being lost in transit that they didn't receive. I don't know if that affected Juno as well. There has been word of a repress coming. Rough Trade has sent emails about a new release date in October. Hopefully you will get an update soon.
That‘s some good news if true. Just checked RT here and they have the presale still up dated 10/20, Juno is coming soon dated 12/25 and HHV have the CD dated 08/11 so… Fingers crossed for everyone still waiting.
I feel like that is the majority opinion lol. There are a few good tracks here and there so I just take what I can get on those and wait for the trio.

I like Rick Hyde and El Camino. Plates II was pretty great. Also think 7xvethegenius is really nice lyrically. Conway and Benny are using their fame and reach to bring up people that have been with them from the start which is also great, and it's a lot more than a lot of other artists do. It's simple enough to just not listen to them if you don't like them. I do feel like Benny and Conway try to shoehorn their artists into beats that aren't necessarily fitting for their style though. That's where I think they can make improvements.

Yeah sounds like grape may be the "indie variant" or something.I get all excitable on days like this and just noticed RT listing, same for UK/US. No mention of numbers or exclusivity but grape???

I agree with your points. My favorite artist by far on Drumwork is Lucky Seven. Before this most recent release, he was only doing artwork layout and sequencing and stuff. But before even joining onto DW, he put out several records which are all high quality, especially Post Traumatic Slave Disorder which was one of my favorite releases from 2019. I was really irritated that he wasn't getting a chance to actually rhyme but that changed on the Conway Presents record. Definitely worth checking out.
