So, regarding the Alice In Chains - Dirt 2xLP 30th Anniversary Edition link I posted yesterday from Amazon. That listing on Amazon has now vanished. Says something like "This Page cannot be displayed" when you try to click the link. My order is still active in my account, but I kind of foresee this getting canceled. The release date for this was August 12, 2022. I cannot find any information about a 30th Anniversary release online, other than they are making a Funko Pop AIC package to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the album. No mention of a new vinyl record pressing. People on the Hoffman forums aren't sure what's going on. Same story on Reddit. Record store owners show none of their distributors with this release.
My fingers are crossed that this order goes through, as a 2xLP version will likely be a
huge improvement over the MOV version, which crams 57 minutes of music on a single record.
Edit: this also turned up on the SHFs.

I just got a reply from NTX Vinyl on YouTube. Re this 'Dirt' release he says:
'Yup! It's coming. The actual "announce date" is August 12th (not the release date, despite what Amazon says - they posted it without permission. Shocker). Release date is September 23rd. I am planning to have tons of copies avail. Stay tuned.'
As per the 30th anniversary link above, looks like 23rd Sept is correct date..
