An interesting observation!
If they buy as an individual buyer, if they theoretically receive the shipment after, say, two days, they can start selling and shipping to their customers as early as, say, October 13 (or generally cheat the 3-month embargo).
I'll have to look into it to see how MBR resolve it.
Who's cheating anything? If they buy from the 007 Store and then sell it that's no different, as someone mentioned, from someone selling on eBay (or Discogs, or Amazon.....or whatever)

You're right, but the question is, does the publisher care if, say, half a print run of an album is bought by a thousand people or one person or one company? I could bet that the publisher would prefer to sell everything at once in one transaction

Well, one must presume the embargo was for some commercial reason.
If resellers are buying as customers to resell what they bought as customers rather than resellers, in other words, gaming the system to get round the embargo...
Then maybe whomever feels this embargo was necessary to protect their commercial interests will play a counter move.
However, like Adam said I'm sure those who put their money at risk to get this out want as much return as possible, as quickly as possible, and if that's what happens, good for them.
All I care about is that it does well. The commercial shenanigans, others can worry about.

And that's for sure, you're right.
Which is why I'm curious about the situation as to how soon MBR will start sending this album.

Part of the blame lies with customers who browse eBay and jump on an overpriced CD without shopping the Internet. Titles still for sale at La La Land Records are listed for ridiculous prices on eBay, often with claims that the CD is rare and hard to find.

An album is worth what someone is willing to pay for it. Ignorance does not absolve one from thinking, so if someone wants to overpay, that's their business and their wallet, and they should be able to do so.

You cannot - and neither can the potential seller - be held responsible for someone's ignorance and lack of thinking, if that person cannot use Google....

Doubtful as there's not much to say about this. The first I heard of it happening was March 2024 (for you unapologetic chronology buffs, that's after January 2024).
So, has that idiotic pants shitter already offered his apologies?
Of course not. He's just carried on like a juggernaut with his usual know-it-all but know nothing trolling. He even claimed to know EON policy about anniversary releases and when Simon pulled him up on it he quoted some LLL words that were utterly irrelevant to "prove" his point.
Now watch him dementedly bump this thread every day for a year. 
LLL will probably produce a special edition Bond release to commemorate the day he's banned from FSM. Lol.

The standard soundtrack customer base–parsing every penny, pining for more–is not the same customer base as 007Store.com, hence the phased, bifurcated initial release.

No, there's 007Store for US, and for EU/UK.
For those living in the rest of Europe, buying from a UK shop will come out cheaper, or comparable to the US, but they will receive delivery much quicker. With me, deliveries from the US can go 4,-5 weeks at a time and from the UK in max 3,-7 days.
007Store has a much more expensive album price, but much lower shipping costs.

Regarding the Anthony Newley Demo, which first surfaced on the 1992 Limited Edition James Bond 30th Anniversary Collection.
The 1992 booklet notes mentioned that two Newley demos were recorded: a slower lounge version (included on that 1992 CD and this upcoming 60th anniversary CD) and a faster/orchestral version (I assume that meant it used the same orchestra backing that Shirley Bassey performed to).
To my knowledge, the other demo never surfaced (officially/unofficially) and for those that know, is that because the recording never happened (the 1992 liner notes were incorrect)? Or is this a sad situation where the recording master is missing / licensing costs would have been too high?
I see! I remember correctly. There were two demos from Newley. Good question: Had been the second one recorded? Maybe a question for Stephen W.

Hope it works?
Wow! Thanks for the link. Never heard that before. I wonder, why it's not on the new release. Sounds quiet good.

It was once featured on a radio show - I don't know if it was on BBC or on a web radio show.
