Still no Disintegration in Australia?

Update: In stock now at JB HIFI. (Thanks Ben)

What's the problem? First the shipment was delayed, now it's on back order? Come on, Universal, get it together!
"Take the June 18th date down. The latest from the stores is it's been put on back order as the record company has now run out of stock...among other stories. I've heard so many of them now. None of them really have the faintest idea what is going on. Can anybody shed some light as to what the hell has happened?!?? I wonder what RS would say about this if he got wind of it?" (Thanks notherbob)
