Large pinch of salt required when a random anon makes an assertion in a thread of that scale.
For balance: all major record companies have their buying in sheets out for mid-November already (including RSD 'Black Friday') and with only 13 days left until the 5th and not a murmur about it anywhere...
Even if done via an atypical route to market, that's pushing things.
Would love to be wrong on this occasion though.
