| About
the Release Dates Section |
Below,
you will find the most accurate and comprehensive
Release Dates section on the entire web. We are second-to-none
when it comes to Release Dates. Many try to imitate,
but still cannot match our standards.
This part of the website is
updated very often, so check it to see if that
album you are after is out yet. Please note that
these dates are US release dates and that dates
around the world may be different. Remember, these
dates are subject to change though, and they do
change very often. Note: If you see a
release date vanish all of a sudden, this is
because there is no known date for that release.
You can purchase albums from the site now courtesy
of CD Now the number one Internet CD shop. Just
click on the Buy link next to the
album you wish to purchase and you'll be able to
get your CD for a knock down price compared to
store prices. You can even pick up albums not yet
available and pre-order them. Not only that, I get
a 6% cut of all sales, so you'll be helping the
site out too.
Know
of a Release Date not listed here, e-mail us at releasedates@y2hiphop.com
and let us know the date.
