Astute Guitar Lifestyle reader Darren M. noticed that Amazon has put a release date of November 9, 2010 on Eric Johnson’s upcoming album Up Close. In my experience, Amazon publishes a release date for upcoming projects if the publisher gives them a release date, so hopefully this means that EMI is actually planning on releasing the album in November. It’s always possible that the release date will change, but let’s hope this release date is accurate. Thanks for the info, Darren. While we wait for the album, you can pre-order Up Close on Amazon.

The date’s been updated to Dec 7. I am dubious that this is the real release; i mean an IMPORT on ‘Vortexan’ label???
Josh says
I’ve also heard the date has been pushed back to Dec. 7. My understanding is that there was an error with the initial pressings, perhaps related to the final record not sounding like the mastered version. At least we know it’s coming at some point in the next few months.
