I love I love these guys but between my original copy, and both of the remastered versions from the box set I don’t see myself needing a fourth copy of ten on vinyl just because it’s purple.. if I didn’t already have three copies I would be all over it though.

This is not how they usually deal with stuff so I’d like to think the wording was just poorly chosen and we won’t see it happen again in the future.
I believe the same thing happened with the RSD Live on Easy Street when it first appeared in the shop. It wasn't until later that we found out it would be on Amazon and other stores readily available. Also wasn't the ten club Let's Play Two vinyl supposed to be different than other stores? Correct me if I'm wrong but I didn't see any difference.
Wasn’t the red Live At Easy Street a true 10C exclusive? IIRC that one was handled correctly (they put out the standard version for RSD but told us in advance that there would be a club version) but I might be misremembering.
Isn’t the jacket for LP2 slightly different/nicer for the club version? Mine has a nice texture to it and I thought I heard it was club only but I’ve never been clear on that.
The disappointment with how TenClub treat us paying customers is fairly relentless. They had to know the semantics of the email made it seem like it was a purely Ten Club release.

I think you are correct on the red easy street. That one was clear. The regular not so much. I didn't notice a difference with the Lets Play Two, but I don't have a copy of both to examine.
C’mon ten club... be transparent when selling things. Don’t play games with the wording and then add things like “on our site” after the fact. You should have explained it was going to be sold at target as well and not truly exclusive to the ten club.
Totally agree.
The Target hype sticker was a pretty big hint that it wasn't a 10c exclusive
The ten club newsletter was a pretty big hint that it was a 10c exclusive.
But you couldn't buy it in the newsletter. The page you buy it from had a conspicuous target sticker on the product

Lol. Conspicuous? People had to zoom in on it to see what it was. 😂

Glad I missed this. I would have been annoyed when it is on the vinyl rack at Target soon. Most Targets sell vinyl. Even WalMart is doing vinyl exclusives now. The new AC/DC and Iron Maiden LP's have WalMart Exclusive colors.

Doesn’t mean much when most places outside of the US don’t have Target and have no idea what a Target sticker looks like.

To me what is most disappointing is the band has long stumped for people to buy at local records shops and avoid buying at big-box stores and yet this “exclusive” vinyl pressing will be sold by 10c and at Target? Kind of baffling.

LOL a 4" tall white sticker on a dark background album cover that you've been looking at for the last 30 years is absolutely conspicuous. Did you actually not see the sticker or was it just too much of a strain for you to zoom in?
Just can’t imagine why anyone would be defending Ten Club on this one. Describing this accurately - as a Target exclusive color way that they’re making available to members first - would have been just as easy as what they did.

I’m not sure you know what conspicuous means. Zoom in all you want. It doesn’t even say the word TARGET 😂
This on the other hand... is very conspicuous. 🤨VVV

Exactly. It still would have sold out and without any drama. I still think this was an unintentional error by ten club. Hopefully they word it differently next time.

Here’s how breweries work. When you buy a 6 pack at your favorite brewery and pay say $9.99 most of that profit goes to the brewery. When the brewery sells their product to a distributor, the distributor sells it to the store so the store can sell it for $9.99. The product is the exact same but the brewery makes way less return on that purchase. Do you all want to pay the band for their amazing work or pay Target?

If the band is going to be misleading and dishonest then Target

Conspicuous: "standing out so as to be clearly visible." Is that huge white sticker on the top right corner not clearly visible? True, you have to take a closer look to see what it says but the vast majority of American consumers easily recognize the Target bullseye logo
Where is the color of the Target version confirmed?
On the hype sticker. It has the target logo and says it’s purple vinyl.
What I'm saying is do we know for sure the Target one is purple? It could just as easily be a different version that says "pressed on orange vinyl" or whatever.
Edit: To be clear, "the one being sold by Target." I do see the logo on that one.

By definition something is not conspicuous if “you have to take a closer look to see what it says”.
This was fun, but I think we’re done here.

I guess not 100%. But I hope you’re correct.

I think there's a good chance it's the same, but I would wait a day and see before I got too upset with the 10C

I’m good with my purchase and I’m pretty sure both versions will be the same. Just looking for more transparency next time as to what exactly we’re buying.

We don't know for sure, but it stands to reason it will also be purple. If the one the 10c was selling was an exclusive purple color, they wouldn't need the Target sticker. target stickers are for target exclusives. 10C got an allotment to sell to their fans before the target on sale.
