I was poking around Allmusic.com and found that they already have a review (a very positive one) of the upcoming Complete Jack Johnson Sessions box from Columbia. They have the release date as 3 September as opposed to 30 September for everyone else. What gives? I've never seen AMG publish a review before an album was released. Normally they take a few weeks to get a review up after the release.

FWIW, it's worth, I asked someone from Sony who is usually on top of things when it would be coming out, and he had no idea what I was talking about. This, however, looks like a pretty solid review and good news. I'm trying to stay frugal on media purchases, but this is one of several items that I'm going to have to pick up immediately over the next few weeks, including the new David Bowie and the Naqoyqatsi DVD. My wallet is already screaming.
