    The way Pearl Jam is handling this release makes NO SENSE AT ALL. Basically they're creating an environment that completely fucks over everyone involved except flippers and eBay jerks.

    What's the point?

    My own theory is they want to cultivate the more rabid part of the fan base, so that if you want to get cool stuff you have to be on the ball, bang up to the minute, checking the boards regularly and ready at a stroke to give your money to 10C, or else risk paying 10 or more times the amount on ebay.

    This might be for business reasons, it might be to stoke passion and enthusiasm amongst the fan base, it might be to make being an active member of the fan club more appealing and necessary.

    Personally I think the approach is exploitative of the huge passion we have for the band - I feel like I'm being 'harvested'. I also feel it's maninpulative, and unkind on the average Pearl Jam fan. For these reasons I have been trying to resist this pull for quite a while, and not to jump through these hoops - but it is difficult - I want to be an active fan, I want to hear great music on vinyl - but I don't want my emotions to be manipulated for profit.......

    Interesting theory, but I'd be willing to gamble that it's having the exact opposite effect.

    Will 10C get the same problem?

    it is likely, let's hope they won't...

    This happened to me too, but it isn't Soundstagedirect's fault. Amazon, Acoustic Sounds and other vendors also got screwed. Soundstagedirect has always taken care of me and I'll continue to buy my vinyl through them.
