GGW single out in Italy this week

Many Tribers took some time to email us in the past few days after we shared the first images of the Girl Gone Wild CD single, to let us know that the release date in their countries seemed to be delayed.

Most reports were coming from Germany, where both online retailers and the official Universal Music web page moved the release date not one but two weeks ahead.

While we don’t have any first hand information about this choice (the only thing that comes to mind is that they may want the release of the CD and the picture disc to coincide for marketing reasons), and we thanks everyone who emailed us their updates, we believe it’s worth reporting that the new 2-track disc has been released in Italy yesterday as originally scheduled and it’s actually out there in the record stores.

On the other hand, the picture disc has been delayed by one week in Italy, too, but this comes as no surprise because, as already reported, the scheduled date was subject to change if the manufacturing process required it.
