Speaking of things disappearing from the release schedule, what happened to Cyndi Lauper's "Memphis Blues" album? Not available only locally anywhere and can't find it on any release schedules anywhere... Little help?!?

Hey Ian,

That's indeed very interesting.
With the last update we received from Inertia (the record company releasing the album locally), it was due out on July 09.
Unfortunately, they don't update us regularly with their release schedules, so things can change dramatically in between the times we receive them.
We'll put the question to the Inertia team and see what they have to say.
