For those still holding out hope on SSD, just did a chat with the customer service, this does not fill me with confidence- You are now chatting with 'SoundStageDirect' SoundStageDirect: Hello. How may I assist you? john: Hi, just wanted to check on the status of a pre-order. today is release day for the red house painters boxset and i wanted to see if i was able to secure one from soundstage. do you need the invoice number from my paypal preorder? SoundStageDirect: We are having a conference with the record company this afternoon. Once we hear from them we will send an email update to everyone who has the Red House Painters (Box Set) on order. john: good deal, thanks for the info!

i suppose it all depends on when soundstage placed their order relative to cd universe and other retailers and if they canceled after the "RSD Only" confusion came about. there was no guarantee of shipment but the customer service rep seemed confident for what thats worth, either way, i am at least more hopeful than after the 4ad preorders sold out.

just got an email from soundstage and they said that they will be able to fulfill orders as they have made a "sizable order" from the manufacturer. I placed my order with them yesterday around noon.
