Are any other UK fans struggling to get hold of Lotusflow3r??? I preo-ordered mine from Play.com a week before the UK release date (6th April) and still havent received it. Ive since cancelled my order and took a look on the HMV website and it says unavailable, legal ban!!! What's going on there??!!!

Bit disappointing as our American cousins have had the album for roughly three weeks now and I've read lots of good things about it, but still haven't heard a note. Not that I'm advocating it, I'm more than willing to part with £30 of my hard-earned to get the album, but it explains why alot of people download stuff like this illegally when its such a pain in the ass to get hold of. The knackered economy has stripped my local high street of all the shops that stocked CDs, and none of the online stores I've tried have it in stock

But to answer your question, the only reason for an import to be blocked
would be if a domestic release is imminently scheduled. So the fact that the
Lotus Flow3r import has now been blocked in the UK can only mean that
a manufacture and distribution deal is currently being worked out for the
UK (and probably the rest of Europe too).

Apologies for the repeat...its hard to keep up with things in here sometimes!!

Cheers for the info though.
