The worst bit about all of this - look back at the press cuttings, or even PJ20, you'll see the band standing tall before Ticketmaster complaining about profiteering in concert arranging worldwide.

Yet here we are, a bunch of dedicated fans, many of whom are paying several times over for a single record and all because the band's own fan club can't get copies to us despite advance payment being made. I don't believe in paying over and over for the same record just to get it early when the fan club claims to be there for us - especially when it charges a fee!!!

I refuse to deal with iTunes - they are killing the art of the record. Millions of us want a physical product, to the point PJ produces vinyl despite that era being long gone for many.

The makeweight? That we get access to a digital download direct from the fan club as well as an eventually-delivered CD.

And yet here I sit, waiting for access from the fan club allegedly set up for us to get more for our favourite band - extracting dues along the way - while iTunes users and Amazon purchasers freely sit and listen to their copies ahead of the pearljam.com mandated "official" release date and time.

Really, really disappointed to be treated like a number for the sake of a few bucks by a band that claims to care. It really shouldn't be this hard, guys.

totally agree. Wich does learn me one thing: never pre-order again from 10c (except if it`s a 10c exclusive, but no albums like LB with a wide release). Just get the cd/vinyl in store on release date and you`ll have before everyone who has ordered it months and months ago...

When it comes to overseas deliveries (like mine) I think sometimes we can be a little harsh.

I've ordered lots of things from The US and I could not tell you how long it takes because it always seems to differ.

This is something out of the 10c's hands.

True - but what's to stop them giving us access to the digital download which comes with the package when the iTunes mob are already playing copies they've burned off their accounts?!

Massive double-standard.

It`s not about the delivery times (I expect to get mine tomorrow, about 10 days on its way is normal for the US to get here), it`s (for me) about the fact that as a paying fan club member you don`t get your stuff before the "regular" customer gets theirs. I feel that we should have some advantage over those who are not members, especially when it comes to the release of a new studio album

As others have said still not even the digital downloads available.

10c can someone advise when we'll have those especially as so many of us don't have our physical copies & it's now past release day(here in NZ anyway)?

I would assume that the 10c digital release to members would be at the same time for all members, and that will happen in 8 hours and 24 minutes according to their countdown clock. A band's official release isn't normally done following the time zones around d the world, especially when they are going by a countdown clock that is set to their own local time.

The pearl Jam app had a different time on the countdown timer depending on time zone.

International release was the 14th, even the 11th at shops here so there definitely are different release dates.

I've now been told to expect 4-8 weeks on international delivery. Anyway, whatever, I'm just going to try & not think about it anymore.

Sonic Boom in Toronto has the CD for $16.99 - I was just there and they close at midnight.

They don't have the vinyl yet - they said the shipment was delayed and to come back later in the week.

My 10c version disc won't play in my car CD player, it doesn't even acknowledge there is a cd in. so much for the night drive to be introduced to new tunes :(

Run some very fine sandpaper around the inside hole of the CD. That trick has worked for me many times.

The record comes out in 3 hours. You can listen to it in 3 hours. How old are you?

Any idea on what the 10c pre order download is? I only see the album in my purchases

Roger_Killjoy

Any additional digital content looks to be the Mind Your Manners video, and the fact we got to download MYM and Sirens prior to release...here's hoping the 10C vinyl has something extra sweet!

Watched the clock tick to 0 and went immediately to get my download...let the fun (and repeated listens) begin!!

unikunka

you can download the album now from your order history. click on your order and your download options are there.
