    Heh, I just had that thought. With Loosegroove starting up again and Hockeytalker, maybe they are going the TMR route and putting together their own Monkeywrench Records pressing plant to press their own shit, but also, be an option to local bands and labels.. 

    This is what I was thinking.  According to that Stern interview, Ed really took note of what Jack White was doing.   I think its totally plausible that they start doing that.  And let's hope for a return to the annual single. 
    why is it called Hockertalkter? with that extra T in there?
    Mikes kid pronouncing Helicopter that way. I think.

    Looking at the photo of the fanclub singles, what is the yellow thing down towards the bottom of the stack? It looks like a yellow copy of the Hunted Down single in amongst the black copies although it could just be some sort of cushioning.

    You aren't supposed to stack records more than 20 high, so yeah, could be cushioning.

    Any update on this? It’s been 2+ months since the last one and how many years ago were we expecting these? I’m not angry... a bit disappointed.. Just got a new (way overdue) pearl cartridge on my turntable for Christmas (sounds unbelievable for the price) and I am broke af needing something new to spin.

    there's no update now and there likely won't ever be one again.

    I bet Pearl Jamms Tenn Club would have handled this a lot better.

    Almost February 2021 and we've not received the 2017 singles. Absolutely embarassing and just an awful way to treat members. We saw pictures of these being assembled in November and these are still not shipped.

    I’ve been fairly silent on this but it is kind of silly that here we are still waiting but chocolates and wine are being delivered by the 14th (not sure if those are outsourced though).

    All that said I am glad the singles (and Deep) are on their way...eventually, lol (I’d rather laugh than cry over this, lol).

    Hard to argue with.

    Does @Santos L. Halper wish to say something about this void of information and this limbo concerning these singles for, well a couple of years now, but since November if we are talking about the sort-of present.

    Between Thanksgiving, 2-3 weeks for the holiday shutdown plus everything else they've had to ship out.

    Yeah. They could definitely hire a few temp staff each September through January...if they're already not doing so.

    I did temporary work in a mail sorting warehouse about 20 years ago. I was in manual mail which meant I had to fold large sheets of paper into a certain shape and add in different brochures and leaflets. Stuff that they didnt have a machine for. Each person probably did thousands a day, i imagine it was a lot more complicated than putting together these singles. Is there a single 10c employee sitting on their own somewhere just assembling these since last year. If so thats why you dont do it in house, you outsource it.

    They are recycling all of Stone's guitar picks and cutting them into the wax. He rarely gives them away so there must be a truckload of them somewhere.  Unless he used them already to build bat houses.

    You know that isnt a real warehouse right? The background is just a big painting. Wonder if 10c warehouse is the same.

    Didn’t they say they were outsourcing mailing these?
