Remasters delayed until March '04 (?)

I was browsing through the Fleetwood Mac-UK website today, and I decided to check the New Releases section for any new info on the White Album, Rumours, and Tusk remasters. The links there took me to the Amazon-UK website, and the details for each album now list a release date of March 22, 2004.

Unless I've completely lost my mind, I could swear that only a few weeks ago, Amazon-UK was listing February 4th as the release date for these:

White Album (correct title, but incorrect details):
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/...175070-0621219

Rumours:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/...175070-0621219

Tusk:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/...175070-0621219

Of course, this sent my OCD into hyperdrive, and I checked out several other sites for confirmation, including Amazon-US, Rhino, BestBuy, and ICE (and a few others I think -- they all tend to blur together after surfing for a while). A few of the sites had the remasters listed, but no release dates posted.

BTW -- I did not find any info on Buckingham Nicks or the DVD-A versions of the albums anywhere.

The bad news: The remasters seem to be delayed AGAIN
The good news: The website is still showing a release of 2004, not 2006.

Hope everyone has a Happy Holidaze (however you celebrate)!

For now!

Another delay certainly isn't beyond the realm of possibility. I guess we'll see.

Thanks for the info, Chuck.

Not that it should be this way, but has anyone found any updated release dates on the US Amazon site yet? This may just be the dates they're going to be released in the UK.

I know, it'll probably be the day after like it was for SYW (since US releases are on Tuesdays and not Mondays), but just a hope that the US release may still be in Feb.

Is this the third or fourth delay. I've lost count!

I guess it depends on how you look at.

It was rumoured that they'd be released in June, and then in August.
Then we heard two different dates in October... next, Rhino Records stated that they were anticipating a November 4th release date... most recently we were told February 3rd.

So, if they are delayed until March, this will either be the fifth delay, or the seventh, depending on whether or not you count those original rumoured release dates!
