Are we forgetting the Ten Club Single?

maxferl

With all the energy around LP2, the albums reissue. We still waiting for the Ten Club single. What’s going on. I don’t remember being that long.

This is probably the 10th thread about it.  Archives are your friend.

Me too H! I have a feeling it will be worth the wait.

Every time a person starts a thread about the fanclub single a vinyl production facility closes.

No.  But they are.

This thing has been late pretty much every year except 1 recent year. I don't even think about it, when it comes I spin it and enjoy it

I don't think we're the ones that forgot it

As long as 10c continues their awesome communication around this single, these threads will continue to pop up. 10c could quell the discussion or uncertainty any time they choose. A simple, non-snarky update with a couple of details and these threads wouldn't exist.

Absolutely.

I'd appreciate an update for the Anthology book and Do The Evolution book too.  Both have been delayed without any communication to customers.

Do the Evolution has nothing to do with Ten Club.  

Any questions you have would be better sent via email or phone call.

No more singles, band’s just not into it anymore.  Those who paid for 2016 and 2017 get an extra luggage tag and one single from the shop, their choice.  Apologies from the band.

I'm ok if they want to stop it, but it should be going forward.    I think most people buy the analog membership to get the single.   I don't think it's the tshirts and luggage tags getting people to buy the Analog membership.   I'm ok if they discontinue the single, but I'd go straight to digital

Proud of my luggage tags.

Baggage handlers stole my luggage tag.  Hot commodity.  Don’t diss the tag

I heard the single this year is actually going to be a demo of the complete forthcoming album that hasn't been announced yet.

Communication is the key.
We are fed what they want to feed us.
Nothing more

No one forgot about it, we just don’t expect it anymore.

But didn't they tell us to make sure our address is up to date about 6 months ago? That's a good enough "update" to finish out the year I would think.

I’m cool with that. I got 3 naked bags, need tags!!

Anyone know how many members there are? Got to be a lot.
If they did that, they'd have to drop the $40 option. No one (or very few) would pay $40 just for membership fees of a fan club for a band that may tour once every 5 years. This has got to be a sweet cash flow for them, would be giving up a lot to admit they aren't doing it anymore and drop it.
They'll just continue to half-ass it and take our $40.

It probably just fell off. Many people experienced that problem, unfortunately. Sounds like you need to crazy glue the fasteners on those things.

I paid for it, so I definitely expect it. If we don't get it, I'll expect a partial refund of my 2016 membership fee.

Totally agree. At some point I feel they have to, they sold the $40 membership by advertising an annual single.
For anyone who doesn't expect it anymore, why do you still pay the $40 then?

I agree.  If they do want to discontinue them all I ask is a heads up.   It's the only reason I keep paying $30 extra for analog.   Honour the commitments for money already received (2017 and 2018), and give people an advance warning they won't be included in future memberships.

I think many of us would simply go to the digital memberships.   That had me thinking.  I wonder if the 10c makes any revenue from the additional $20/$30 they get from analog memberships, or if just breaks even.  If it they do earn money from it, and it helps with funding ongoing operations, I could see why they are hesitant to drop the Christmas singles.

I would just kill my membership. Sure, I'd go through the AMT withdrawal stage, but I'd get through it I'm sure. And I might even get some work done.

I can't see how they don't turn at least an extra $10 each. The 7" singles sell for under $10, and the "Free" shirt has got to be fairly inexpensive. I'd be surprised if they don't pocket at least half of that extra $20 spent on analog fees.
