Eclipse Soundtrack Release Date June 8…JUST KIDDING!

So a couple of weeks ago I reported on the Eclipse Soundtrack release date, then last week MTV and all the mainstream Twilight sites followed with the same news.  However, I went back to Amazon today to see if they by chance had slipped us any further tidbits into the Eclipse Soundtrack to discover that the release date has since been removed.

So what is it about the Eclipse soundtrack that makes it so much more tight lipped than past Twilight soundtracks.  The rumor mills have been churning for months about artists, but still, not a single artist has been confirmed.  Is the date retraction from Amazon.com simply because they put it up before an official announcement, or is it because the release is going to be pushed back?

It is rumored that Atlantic records will be making the official press release regarding the soundtrack soon. I had originally anticipated word today, following the announcement of the Eclipse score completion last week in addition to the release of the final movie trailer.  Since nothing was released today, I am predicting we will hear something early tomorrow morning or first thing next week. Anything later seems out of character for the release schedule we have seen for both Twilight and New Moon.
