Now available for pre-order at amazon.co.uk for £33.97. Still unavailable at amazon.de/.fr. Amazon.de lists 3.07 (a week earlier) as the release date, amazon.fr says "Import Allemand" ("German import")

My local recordstore doesn't have it in their system. I bougth vol. 9 from them last time.

FYI - it's available on amazon.com, $43: https://www.amazon.com/Radiophonie-10-J ... B088T6H96F

Indeed doesn't seem it's up for order anywhere yet here, hanging on a bit before I'll order from somewhere else than normally.

Now available for pre-order on amazon.fr and FNAC, €26.99 (lowest price so far)

JPC.de has it now too:

Amazon UK just e-mailed me:

Oddly enough others still list July 10th (fnac, amazon.fr, wowhd, amazon.com, hmv.co.jp, imusic.dk) or 3rd (jpc.de, amazon.de).

Still no orders up in The Netherlands it seems, bol.com does show it in the search bar, but no actual listing yet...

So, Amazon UK changed their minds and it's "July 3" now.

Amazon UK posted the tracklist

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B088T6H96F/ ... 9Eb68R6YSS

As I predicted CD1 contains Hexagone 1-99, i.e. it seems to be a copy of vol. 9. However, disc times don't seem to match

vol. 9 is 61:24
vol. 10 CD1 is 59:19

Also, the track listing contains tracks that were not registered in Sacem (e.g. Hexagone 100)

CD1 - 99 tracks:
HEXAGONE 1 … HEXAGONE 99 (99)

CD2 - 48 tracks:
HEAXGONE 100 (1)
HEXAGONE 111 (1)
HEXAGONE 122 (1)
HEXAGONE 133 (1)
HEXAGONE 120 … HEXAGONE 125 (6) - note "HEXAGONE 122" is listed twice
HEXAGONE 300 … HEXAGONE 327 (28)
HEXAGONE 501 … HEXAGONE 510 (10)

CD3 - 57 tracks:
HEXAGONE 511 … HEXAGONE 527 (17)
HEXAGONE 529 … HEXAGONE 542 (14)
HEXAGONE 544 (1)
HEXAGONE 546 … HEXAGONE 550 (5)
HEXAGONE 552 … HEXAGONE 553 (2)
HEXAGONE 555 … HEXAGONE 559 (5)
HEXAGONE 561 … HEXAGONE 563 (3)
HEXAGONE 601 … HEXAGONE 610 (10)

CD4 - 81 tracks:
HEXAGONE 611 … HEXAGONE 691 (81)

Total: 285 tracks

Discrepancies between what is (was?) registered in Sacem and the tracklist (according to a short piece of software I wrote)

in SACEM but not on CD: [200, 201, 202, 203, 204, 205, 400, 401, 402, 403, 404, 405, 406, 528, 543, HEXAGONE LIGHT MIX, HEXAGONE MIX, HEXAGONE MIX R128]

on CD but not in SACEM: [100, 120, 121, 122, 123, 124, 125, 133, 301, 516, 540, 617, 678]

Note: "Hexagone 122" is listed twice in the track listing

What a sale!

It seems like Amazon.co.uk has a July 3 release date for this, whereas jpc.de has July 20th. Still pondering which one to go for (if I'll go for it, tbh).

Thanks Jote for your "stats" - interesting!

Maybe Vol. 10 disc 1 is shorter than vol.9 because of shorter blanks between the tracks. Vol. typically has 5 second gaps, which sound (or don't, for that matter) too long. Maybe they reduced those for the new release.

Yeah, I like to know the details...

Possibly, there are indeed long silent parts at the end (I haven't yet checked whether this is pure silence or just very long fadeouts), so you might be correct.
