Still not sure why they call it “2020 reissue” if theyre 2019 leftovers.  

I don't think they are.

So I understand this philosophy could come with some heat. Please just hear me out for what this is (not looking for negative feedback, thank you). I am a Pearl Jam supporter and have attended them in concert. I recently acquired a turntable and began a record exchange with my brother for bday and xmas presents. I was particularly excited about this release for our exchange. Here is my predicament. I saw the merch store listing. It prompted me to register. I did the free account first. Then it prompted me to upgrade the registration to the paid membership to purchase the presale. Nowhere did it say sold out on vinyl, just progressing stages of registration to purchase. Now my registration is paid, presale is sold out, and despite my love for Pearl Jam the whole registration was for this single vinyl, plain and simple. Does anyone have any idea if this will be restocked on Monday or another time via 10c? If this avenue for acquisition has dried up I am very disappointed in the registration process as it was quite misleading that stock was gone until after money was paid. Also curious to know if vinyl will in fact be stocked retail come Oct. Happy for any and all help. I've read the prior thread which was full of ups and downs with announcements of restock and sold out. TIA!

They’re not calling it 2020 reissue or theyre not leftovers?

I think it might be the 2nd time it happened.  10c put a few of them up for sale several weeks (ish?) after RSD and called them a new pressing, but they were RSD leftovers (which I'm thankful for because I got a copy).  I did hear lots of talk that the unplugged vinyl didn't ship properly (none of my local stores got their orders).   Maybe they got stuck in the supply chain somewhere, and go redirected back to 10c or something.

Not leftovers. If they were they wouldn't be sold out 3 times in 2 days.

I know it doesn’t solve your problem and get you the record but I’m pretty sure if you email the ten club and explain this that they will give you a refund. 

That being said... it’s possible the record will be restocked.  Usually when things sell out for good the listing is removed completely.  So it might be a good sign that it’s still up.  But there’s no way to tell for sure unfortunately.

Appreciate the understanding and suggestions. Called the local shops in the Denver area and no real leads. Suggested contacting them back for associates higher in the inventory chain. I’ll hold my breath since the listing hasn’t fallen off. Hope that isn’t a possibility Monday morning either. Glass half full and they’ll restock.

Danish online shop gaffa has it up now - release date 22 Oct: https://www.gaffashop.dk/shop/pearl-jam-mtv-75819p.html.
This is so strange... anyway, fingers crossed 10c will let us cancel orders, since they didn't let us know it would be a general release.

I think if your membership is only a few days old, and you tell tenclub that you only wanted the membership to buy the record, they may refund you and cancel your membership.
When you write and explain the situation, if you're lucky, maybe they will even give you some insight on if the vinyl is completely sold out or not.
(and can report back what you learn here )

I still find it funny how back in Nov/Dec, after these sold out quickly for RSD, that some people were shouting back then,
"You're foolish to pay the inflated $60+ price tags on ebay. More will be released soon (as in last Nov/Dec), and flippers will have to sell them for under cost because the market will be flooded with them, because there are 13,000!"

That never happened.

I said people were crazy for paying inflated prices and I still say it. Clearly this was already available again over 2 dates if one wanted it. And I’ll be shocked if it’s not available readily on or before the October 22nd date more widely. If it is, then those people will be right.

Yeah, it's unfortunate the listing has both the CD and vinyl options, so they can't remove the listing if the CD is not sold out. It's bizarre that after the vinyl and CD initially sold out, the listing went all the way to the back of the music section when they added more inventory.

Good luck... hoping they restock it!

It was available again, around 10 months later.
I was saying that it was funny that people were so sure they would be able to get it at cost (or under) within the month after last November's drop.
I agree that it is a bad idea to pay the inflated prices. I wouldn't.
But to each their own. One could pay the extra money and secure getting one right away, or save money and wait and see if more come up at cost.
My point was just that over the past 10 months or so, they didn't go down in price on ebay, like some said they would. (maybe not you.)

More like less than an hour old when I sent in my message stating the situation. Planning to follow up tomorrow during business hours, maybe even calling if I can find a good phone number. And of course I will be reporting back. Will even look to do some reporting back when I do my follow up's with local Denver shops (one call tomorrow and another in a week). Stay tuned and thanks for the support and info, all!

Hello!
since both NME https://www.nme.com/news/music/pearl-jam-releasing-1992-mtv-unplugged-performance-vinyl-2751071

mention that PJ is releasing this vinyl on their 30's birthday, I assume it will be available in stores.
Maybe I am wrong, but I wouldn't understand why those magazines would talk about it if it was a "fan only" sale...

Because they don't know?   They're probably using the 10c's announcement as their source and 10c didn't really specify in the announcement?

This one makes a lot of sense. I visited several stores the week of RSD (Toronto) and every one I asked, said they didn't even get a co

Cause those magazines created articles simply based on an Instagram post by the band. No more info, just for clicks.
