Hey how about those 2 missing Ten Club singles!

tup30

I was anxious to get the two singles also then 10c offered the mystery boxes, which was way more fun than a vinyl 45. (To me)

I'm content!

bummer these aren’t out yet, but they’ll get to us at some point.

I'm not going to post anymore in this thread, and since I'll not renew my membership (in middle december), maybe these three words will be my last on these forums. Enjoy them, they describe both the band (regarding this specific issue of the singles) and some of the paying members here who are apparently more annoyed by this legit thread (that can only be read if you click on it, anyway) than the behavior of the band:

1)Childish 2)and 3)ridiculous.

Everyone loves a dramatic last post.

I heard that we all get the forthcoming album in lieu of the singles. It's a 2 disc set, so if you were only a member one of the two years, then only half an album for you! Source: the voices in my head.

yeah with the unplugged album out, this "vinyl pressing is backed up" excuse is BS. we all knew it. now it's confirmed.

Ten Club never said this though, right? It was just a random speculation?

If these do exist, just release the mp3's. If the vinyl takes longer, so be it. The music is what matters.

Correct. They just said in production. So that could be any point in the production cycle (including just picking songs).

Unplugged's existence in the world has no bearing on where they are in the production cycle for the 7"s. Unplugged could have been decided earlier this year. Having the audio already done for the DVD made it an easier production. It was probably just Hi Res files sent to whoever cut it. Isn't the album art the same as the DVd packaging? They probably only started production on them in September or October to make the RSD deadline.

I believe they last said the singles were "being finalized."

They should have mailed out the unplugged vinyl to us as a sorry for not fulfilling their obligations. 

That would be awesome!

This could be interesting.

Saw the twitter post. 11 more releases of holiday singles. Hope a few are new.

I could have sworn I saw something from one of the 10C folks that it had something to do with the backlog of vinyl production. If I'm wrong, my bad.

I think that was a rumor regarding the album being delayed.

Wasn't it Bierman who addressed it in a radio interview or something?  He said the singles were "in production" or "in the production phase" or something like that.

Smooth. I'm not sure if the band is trolling us, or themselves. Or maybe they completely lack any self-awareness. Either way, goofy optics, PJ. How about prioritizing a couple of long-overdue obligations before you get cute with references to holiday singles. Who comes up with these ideas?

JimmyV

From the September newsletter, which followed on the heels of Bierman's response to the Washington State attorney General:

"The 2017 & 2018 Ten Club Singles and Deep Magazines are being finalized.

If you had an Analog membership in 2017 and/or 2018, you will be contacted via email with a reminder to update your mailing address once production finishes.

Note: If you had an Analog membership for both years, the 2017 & 2018 Ten Club Singles and Deep Magazines will be shipped together in one package.

All 2017 and 2018 Members will be notified when the applicable digital copies of these are made available for you to download from your account."

i highly doubt they take optics towards their fan club into consideration when constructing social media posts for the masses. i mean, why would they? we are but a minuscule portion of their fanbase. twitter is for global exposure.

I kind of figured the 12 days of this would lead to them dropping the new ones.
