Amazon's initial pre-order prices seem like errors, but who knows?

CD -- $1.40
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07ZLK68P4/?tag=imwan-20

Vinyl -- $2.50
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07ZLK5NF2/?tag=imwan-20

Take a chance, but don't be disappointed if the pre-orders are cancelled.

I'm sure they're correcting their mistake right now.

Both formats are once again up for pre-order at the original links, but now at normal prices:

CD
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07ZLK68P4/?tag=imwan-20

Vinyl
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07ZLK5NF2/?tag=imwan-20

Not really expecting the original prices to be honoured, but so far my CD pre-order has not been cancelled.
