According to who? If you are in the business of pressing vinyl and have been doing it since 1991 and also know EXACTLY how many you need to press. You should know the exact date you will be sending them out. A "Being pressed right now" is not an adequate answer, he might as well say, "I don't know", its saying the same thing.

Its their job to provide a service to the paying customers. One of those services is a Deep mag and Single. How they go about getting those items is not my problem or my concern. Thats the TC job.

Tim Bierman weeks ago on the AET radio show. Check it out sometime. When they know they are being sent out we will know.

They are providing a service to the paying customers and you will get the single and issue of deep. Both are being worked on right now.

Your argument makes absolutely no sense. You act as if neither of these items will be sent.

What else would you order the "2010" model of and, seven months into 2011, not feel right complaining about the fact it hasn't arrived, nor have you heard anything about its production progress?

How hard is it to make a phone call and say "can we use a couple b-sides for the Fan Club single this year since you guys are busy?"

I do think the Ten Club does a good job and does their best. I just don't think the manager should be answering questions with answers like "Its taking long than we expected" " Its handcrafted so its taking longer" "It has alot of details" " ect.

1) They have you just didn't hear it. And it's being pressed right now most likely.

2) It isn't the job of the 10 Club to press the boys. When they get together the come up with what they want on the single and it goes from there.

3) So you would rather him lie?

Dude didn't you say its being pressed right now the other week? Seriously, you know no more than anyone else on this issue but act all high and mighty about it. Its not difficult to get 2 songs done each year for the fanclub. Christ, half the time the songs are shit on it anyway! The last 3 years or so the single gets sent out later each time; Pearl Jam, PJ's management and the 10 Club should get a better handle on this. Especially after the price change. You seriously cannot think they do a good job on this issue

I can't even remember if we have ever gotten the record in the year of membership. The reason being you can join the club on December 29th and still get that record. I think it has always come the following year.

We have heard about the progress. At least I did.

I hope Deep comes out before PJ20...

I would certainly hope so.

I would think it would take 6 weeks to print and ship Deep,
so hopefully it would be ready very soon....

It would probably make sense if they got these out in Jan or Feb each year (so 2010 one would have been Jan/Feb '11) but it'll never happen (unless its a year late)

According to Tim is was being pressed weeks ago. Call in next week and ask him how the progress is going on that.

I have no problem with how it's done. When the band decides to get together and come up with the single that's when it gets done. Why would I care when I get it as long as I get it? What does the price change have to do with when you get something from them. There isn't a guaranteed date on any of these things.

I see no issue at all. I know both are coming and honestly that is all that matters to me.

Until December 30th comes around, nothing is a year late.

I can't remember when I've received all the past 10C singles...do you know? It would just be interesting to chart that.

The last 2 I received in May '09 and June '10. The 1st in my membership arrived in 2008, can't remember when but it was earlier than the last 2 singles.

According to Tim is was being pressed weeks ago. Call in next week and ask him how the progress is going on that.

Erm, no I won't be doing that. Call charges from UK to USA will be expensive and I can just read what you put about the holiday single instead.

Not everything, just that you didn't hear about it being in production in March. The setlist looks amazing!!!! New songs on it.

There is clearly a problem with how its done, in the past we've had xmas songs arriving in summer!!! Again my main point is that they are asking for more cash for the next year so 10c should justify it with a better service which means telling people when things will ship. I know I sound like a broken record but thats just what I would expect from a subscription service. The first I heard of last years was when I saw somone had listed it on ebay. 6 weeks later mine turned up.

Ive been a member of 10c for 10+ years despite what my join date says. The month when we get the 7 is just random, we have had it around Christmas in years gone by but I think the cut off date has moved or something.


It would seem that maybe 10c just don't have enough resource. Too many releases etc as part of PJ20, still waiting on my Ukelele Songs LP and the 7. They struggle to get the 7 inch and a copy of deep out every year so what hope have we got when it comes to anything else.

They are working on a 12", but it's not the holiday single.
