Wow boxer12, I’m surprised to hear "Love And Theft" was issued on LP by Columbia back when it was a new release in 2001. I don’t remember my Sony Distribution (they had Columbia Records) salesperson (I would say salesman, he it was a she ;-) mentioning the album was available on LP when she took my pre-release order at Tower Records. But Tower had long since gotten rid of their LP racks, and besides, the majors sold LP’s to stores as a one-way buy---no LP returns by stores allowed, even if defective. Once a store bought an LP, they owned it. Tower buyers were prohibited by Sacramento from ordering LP’s for their store.
