Plans by Billy Corgan et al to release brand new Smashing Pumpkins album 'Zietgeist' on 7 Jul - ie 07/07/07 - seem unlikely to go ahead because of the logistical challenge of releasing a new record on a Saturday. Warner division Reprise have published the official release date as 9 Jul in the UK and 10 Jul in the US, ie on standard release days. Though I suppose that may be just because there's no place for 7 Jul in the release schedule spreadsheet and not because stores are unable or unwilling to actually rack it on the 07/07/07 date - so who knows if that means we should assume the 07/07/07 idea has been canned? We possibly should. I'll try and find out.
