When asked about the album, Thijs van Leer responded with this poem:
Wow, my joy could not increase
To see this new release
It has Mazzel, Palindrome and Heaven
Plus a title track called Eleven
Both angelic and a beast
It's Focus, to say the least!

Trying to appeal to a more selective audience?

So there will be no US vendors carrying it?

And the download will be available from Cherry Red?

Amazon page says it is not available for pre order yet. I signed up to be emailed when it is. Excited to hear another Focus album from these musicians! Too bad no US tour.

If I'm reading the OP correctly this won't be available from Amazon.

It says "January 25, 2019" on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07KC1CQJ6...wcherryredc-20

I guess the OP was incorrect then.

Per the original OP's post: For fans wishing to pre-order the CD and LP for when they are released in January, Amazon is starting to take pre-orders now. The CD is identical. Amazon CD: http://geni.us/Focus11CD and Amazon LP: http://geni.us/Focus11LP.

That's why I checked on Amazon.

Don’t see any reason why not to pick this one up. I’m sure it’ll be available at all our favorite online boutique retailers (in addition to Burning Shed, of course).

Thanks, I missed that. But also it was the second line of the OP that led me astray:

"Exclusively available on the band's November UK tour and via the band's official online store ONLY!"

I'm glad it will have wider distribution though!

No problem. Happy Thanksgiving!
