As of today, there are still 9 available for direct order from his bandcamp. And I expect that once those have sold, they will manufacture more. The 1,000 copies was due to that being the minimum order size for manufacture -- not because it was intended to be a rare 1-off collectable.

As of 29 September there are still 80 copies for sale on Hitchcock's bandcamp page. He is selling them for $10. https://robynhitchcockofficial.bandcamp.com/album/the-man-downstairs-demos-rarities

The date of 21st August is on the matrix, which I suppose is when it was pressed, as my pre-ordered copy only arrived Sept. 19th (in the U.K.). The release date listed of August 7th is when the download was released, not the actual C.D.
