Why isn't the 1963 Julliard set currently on American (and hardly any!) CD? Sony Classical, WTF?!?!?!?!?!

Weirdly, the Sony Classical website seems to show it with a release date of today (??!!) The pic here shows the orig. cover, at least:

Juilliard String Quartet - Bartok: The 6 String Quartets | CD

Not sure that page is accurate...it doesn't look very professional.

Sony Classical does have the 90s version in print, but....I ain't feeling that at all.

I went to that site also, and I'm willing to wager that if you go there tomorrow, the release day will be that day.

Fully agreed (italics added). It seems like that type of programming "feature".

 

But some detective work:

Discogs showed a release page for a 2010 CD-R reissue, with a link to ArkivMusic.

The ArkivMusic link was dead, but a search of ArkivMusic yields a 2-CD set for $29.99 (edit: "3 CD set")

I leave it to more intrepid searchers to determine whether those are in stock, CD-R or CD, etc.

Price seems high for CD-R, but IMO it could be something like Presto Music's "Presto CDs", which are pressed on demand and presumably CD-R. That would actually square with the Sony Classical page perpetually showing "today" as release date. OTOH, "Presto CDs" seem to be offered at all kinds of prices, see for instance .
