Mine auto-renews next week, just curious as to why anyone would choose Analog over Digital now given the "annual" single has gone away. Any other reason to keep analog??
I plan an staying Analog, unless they make a clearer and clearly more depressing announcement of what it means prior to my renewal. When they first did this digital analog stuff, in my personal opinion the single had taken a run of some pretty unspectacular choices, beginning in 2006 and then of course they decide to drop a nice 10" of two great cuts from Red Rocks 1995 after I went digital. So long story short, I can lose $20 while trying to figure out if there are any better clearer analog plans ahead.
Thanks all for the input. Probably just staying analog for the time being. The email announcement wasn't very specific as to what the benefits were for analog now that the single is gone. If the only reoccurring benefit will just be the shirt moving forward, that's an easy pass.
I downgraded because 10C doesn't appear to have a plan other than offering less for the same. Had they announced something other than "we're excited to see what the future brings" I might have entertained staying Analog.

Exactly. My auto renew was today. I hate change after 25 years but cant give money away.
Be resonable now. The chunk of cost that was the vinyl will obviously be replaced by something. You think they would remove something and just keep the new margin as profit?
Unless, they were losing money on it in the end or something.
i think something new will show up.

The membership benefits are listed on the Ten Club page, they have been for a month. Everyone needs to stop thinking something is replacing the vinyl or something new is showing up.

I still believe it. I just don't know what yet.
It would blow my mind if they just got rid of something and then kept the same price.
Then I would really feel like they were taking me for a sucker.

Covering their ass is not the same as not changing anything. Wanting to make it very clear that in 2019 the single was done was the first order of business. That might not go further but that was the first major step.
I'm dropping down to digital. I hate to do it after all these years but I really don't want give away $20. It's a pretty shady thing to do to loyal customers/fans but hey, if you can get away with it, may as well do it I guess.

I'm in a similar boat. Yes it's only $20, but if something is getting taken away and the price remains the same, that's pretty bad business.
If you like it, pay up for the Analog membership. Or if you want the hard copy of deep (which is 2 years behind) or the digital boot.
If you don't ... pay for Digital membership and see what the 2020 membership item is in Jan. 2020... and move up then if you like it.
Right, right...I totally spaced on that. So if you know you are gonna buy a boot, you're deciding if you want the tshirt and Deep for $10.
Reading the other responses, I think it would be a shitty move if they added something to one level and not the other mid-cycle. Enhancements for 2020, absolutely. You can daydream about getting more stuff with Analog, but only have yourself to get mad at when nothing changes.

People still think the band will tour the west coast USA because they did the east coast USA in 2016.
(And if the Bataclan attack never happened, I bet that east coast tour doesn't happen...Fenway and Wrigley, yes, but Florida, Telluride and Bonnaroo? Doubtful.)
When they tour the west coast, it will undoubtedly be part of a larger tour...I highly doubt it will be exclusive to the west coast.

- Membership item
- Free digital bootleg
- Hard copy of Deep
I guess you're just gambling on whether the membership item will be another t-shirt and how you feel about that.

Yes, the single is gone - they are replacing with an annual 12" EP.
10C is just testing everyone's nerve...
