It's kinda weird that you can't pre-order it!
This is supposed to be a sonically astonishing record, so I might hold out for the LP over a needle-drop, but I'll check out the digital on Spotify while I wait!
Looks like City Hall Records will distribute it and is asking $18.98 for it (including domestic shipping).

Not sure why the Leo website says it won't ship to you (I got the same message) as he definitely does ship worldwide. It's absolutely gonna be cheapest with City Hall though.
"By the time we decided to release it, the master tape deteriorated and eventually could not be used. To produce the CD we had to record it from the LP to digital."
That's unfortunate
Ordered this morning (less than 5 hours after receiving the alert email) and did notice the 'available on backorder' above the button to purchase.
Hoping the initial run didn't already sell out!
A question for owners of this OOP box from Leo: http://www.leorecords.com/?m=select&id=CD_LR_801/808&ln=1
I found a copy of this on discogs, but the seller tells me he'll have to ship without jewel cases to keep the weight under a certain amount. No problem.
He claims the jewel cases don't contain any paper inserts at all, which I find strange for such an otherwise lavish package.
Can anyone who owns this please confirm the packaging? I can't find any pictures online.
Thank you so much!
What am I getting?
Nothing. He charges £17.45 ($29.57 CAD) to ship every 4 CDs. That makes each disc cost $9 or so. Plus, I still have 50+ still-sealed things from past sales
The idea of playing and winning the lottery terrifies me. Playing the lottery goes against sound mathematical logic, and winning it would be a nightmare because greedy people would never leave you alone. It would change everything, and probably not for the better.
Yup, recently ordered it too. CAD to PNL was surprisingly affordable. The music, of course, sets the bar very high. Possibly the most engaging, honest, and beautiful sounds of 2015.
I bought this album from Ingebrigt Haker Flaten last week when I saw Dave Rempis' Percussion Quartet. I'm listening to it now, and it's simply incredible. It's pulsing, driving, melodic jazz for 2015, and it's totally captivating and enjoyable.
