  • I'm analog purely for the physical holiday single. Like a few previous posters have said, I'm a fan of Pearl Jam, not a fan of the Fan Club. I think all members should be given the option of the gift, and I'd prefer if the gifts had major branding of the band and then minor branding of the 10c so others could recognise that firstly we're PJ fans, and secondly we're in the PJ fan club. There have been so many cool posters, artwork, shirts etc associated with the band over its history, surely a more interesting design can be achieved. Not a fan of the I'm Analog branding. We're all Pearl Jam fans.

    Once you hold the hand of love, it's all surmountable.

    Is it really important to people that others recognize they are pj fans?

    My problem with it is I don't see it as a 'gift'. Dress it up any way you want but when you constantly get the vinyl, deep mag, bootleg & tshirt/stickers, I don't see anything as a free gift anymore, more that is what I now expect for $20. It's like turning round & saying the vinyl is the free 'gift', it's always the same sort of stuff & loses that gift feeling. If the gift was occasionally more interesting that would be great, but as an adult I don't have much use for stickers.

    Having said that, it is obvious that's purely how I see it & not a dig at the fan club. I just think the designs are consistently poor, which I'm allowed to have an opinion on without people thinking I'm ungrateful for a gift. This is why I changed to digital next year.

    Nothing is for free my friends, the cost of the 'gift' is definitely built into the price of the analog membership. I don't get peoples argument that "It's a gift so stop complaining". Why give a 'gift' that nobody likes? That doesn't make sense to me. Let's reward our loyal fan base by giving them something they want...now that makes sense to me.

    Food for thought. Maybe that should be one of the options for Analog membership choices. T-shirt, luggage tags or VF non-profit support.

    AWESOME idea!!

    If you go digital, you can still score the deep mag and single on ebay usually for a lot less than the price of the member
    Whispering hands....

    Except this one..
    http://www.metallica.com/metclub/metclub-more-info.asp

    Cool!! I love seeing that bands try to be sure their fans are happy! Of course, I'm sure the Metallicans are just as ungrateful at times as we are.. Are are we the rarity?

    Metallica played a week of fanclub only shows at $19.81 per show. Cant get much more awesome than that.

    Re people loving merch with the TMR brand vs the 10C brand: TMR isn't a fan club. It's a record company. Big difference.

    they are essentially the same business up front. Tmr is a fan club that happens to press specialty vinyl for other artists. All i mean is their "fan club" type shirts they do for their packages are usually very neat. And something different every time. I don't think people would bitch so much if 10 didnt repeat itself every bloody year.

    Everyone has a right to express their opinion. They upped the price if you wanted to stay the Analog route and tried to say this stuff was a gift. They could have increased the price a little but kept the price lower than it is by not manufacturing these 'gifts'. Neither the stickers or the ts are likely to entice members. Manufacturing this stuff just seems a waste.

    This is atrocious, as were the sticker sets. Save me $10 or $20, as well as the shame of being in my 30s and still belonging to a fan club, and don't send any garbage with "10c" on it. I joined the fan club in the first place because I liked Pearl Jam, not because I am a fan of their fan club.

    The only reason I still have the analog membership is to keep the holiday single collection going. If it weren't for that, I'd get a digital membership.

    That's how I feel as well. Back in the day the membership (for international) jumped from $25 to $50. All we got was the I'm Analog Tshirt, stickers, and now an even tackier I'm Analog Shirt/Luggage Tags. I'm only analog for the Christmas Single. I suppose I could change it, go digital, and hope they sell the leftover singles on the website later on. Maybe they Could make a $35 or $40 medium membership which is Digital + the xmas single.

    EVERYTHING that you buy has had prices drastically raised in the last 5-10 years.

    For $40:
    -Cost of writing, editing, & printing Deep magazine
    -Cost of producing and pressing annual single
    -Cost of shipping materials to package Deep magazine & annual single
    -Cost of shipping that package w/ the mag & single
    -Operational / labor costs for all of the above
    -And if you consider the $10 bootleg download code is basically the same as buying yourself a gift card, then $30 covers everything else I've already mentioned. All that for $30 seems like a pretty reasonable deal to me, and 10C is still probably losing money on each member.

    Safe to say that designing, printing, packaging, and shipping a t-shirt, luggage tags, or poster/sticker/patch kit is, indeed, a gift.

    I appreciate the fact that 10 Club gives us the opportunity to purchase these members-only items.
    They may not be the best designs ever or even one of my favorite products they've done,
    but I do find these new products interesting & useful...
    I know the luggage tags will help my bags stand out on the baggage claim conveyor belts!!

    It really would be a huge improvement if the "I'm" wasn't there.... i wonder if they've already had them all made? If not they should make the change.

    Imagine if there was a variant along the lines of
    "I'm an anal log"?
    Wonder how in demand analog memberships would be then...
