This new title from Betty Davis on Light in the Attic/Columbia is going to be released on July 1, 2016.

It's considered a "secret release." My record store has it in stock, but are under strict order not to sell until July 1.

I'm excited to pick this up next Friday -- even though the run time is about as long as "Dirty Mind"...

Only info I can find is at http://discogs.com/release/8695975

Will be available on vinyl and CD. Since it's LitA, I'm assuming they'll also put it out on cassette for you hipsters.

are they purposely trying to not sell this.

Spoke with Light in the Attic earlier. There will be two vinyl releases. One gold, and the other black. Also, he did mention that Herbie Hancock is on the release -- so basically I'm assuming after hearing that -- that whoever Miles was working with during that time period is on this record...

You can find it if you look hard enough. Especially since the original release date was July 1 (changed to June 28 at last moment).

I picked my copy up this morning due to this miscommunication between the record company and the retailers regarding the release date.

Some retailers on Twitter have posted how many copies they have. Might be worth giving them a call. I was about to call Amoeba this morning from Seattle if I couldn't find a copy locally.

I just wish there had been a download code in the vinyl set so that I don't have to look for a pirated digital copy. I mean, I paid $30 plus tax -- for less than 30 minutes of new music -- but no download code?

Anyways, first world problems. For real.

Turntable Lab in NYC posted a photo showing physical copes to their instagram account last night. I believe its for the regular black vinyl version looking at with the website has listed. Completely up to you if you want to make to trek to NYC for that record or not.

I bit weird neither the gold or normal black versions can get ordered directly from the Light In The Attic website.

I imagine all of her releases get mixed reviews. She's not for everyone.

With that said, just searched Google and can't find any reviews. Where exactly are you seeing/hearing mixed reviews?

A lot of big Betty Davis fans there have been giving it lukewarm reviews.

This was done in 1968. From the snippets I heard it has a more soul vibe to it. I was liking what little I heard.
