I understand that many of you are frustrated that you missed out, pointing out that they received the email after it was sold out.  Why are people immediately blaming Santos/Ten Club...are people insinuating that the emails are sent out in batches and there's a secret VIP list that gets them first?  I saw the Facebook post AND received the email...logged in and had no issue getting one and I can assure you I'm no VIP.

Nothing is perfect and that includes sending out a blast email to thousands of people....

I mentioned the email batches.  I’m not suggesting a conspiracy theory VIP list.  Just the opposite… that it’s the luck of the draw when your email address gets pushed out by the server.  I was mostly responding to people complaining that the emails arrived long after it sold out and was just offering a technical explanation for why that happened.

So forum post was posted just before 1 p.m. I didn't get the email until around 1:30 p.m. I can't monitor the forum boards 24/7 as I have a job. Anyways, sending the email was moot cause when it was already sold out when I clicked "buy." Kinda ridiculous. I'm not going to spend the hundreds of dollars on a third party site. It's not worth it, even with the "mastered for vinyl." Wake me up when they start doing AAA releases.

this is partly why i'm on twitter. set your notifications for pearl jam to "always notify", I get a pop up on my phone of every tweet. saw it, clicked the link, bought immediately. same way i got the bat. 

I got the notification by Instagram and could buy 1. I got the mail 20 min after I bought it and it was sold out by then

I would be surprised if there isnt a black pressing available in August since its out of print. The release of this would surely be driven by the label rather than 10c. 10c/ management maybe wanted in on it and got this special clear version but could have been restricted in terms of quantity. If that was the case I would have rather it have been luck whether you get a clear or a black, sent at random. Saying that the clear could be available elsewhere. We know exclusive doesnt always mean exclusive anymore. For instance I see stuff being advertised as exclusive all the time only for it to be easily available through a retailer in another country.

Anyway my point is - dont pay $200 for this.

What a perfectly reasonable post, 
Get it the Hell out of here

Which leads me to my other gripe..  

We speculate a bunch on here, us weird and unreasonable fans... but if Santos (Tim?) can chime in on here telling us about inventory supply....  why can't he explain the quantity restrictions, if that was the case? The more open and honest they are with us, the better things would be.

I’m no computer expert but I’m pretty sure when the ten club sends out an email it doesn’t all go out at once.  I’m guessing it goes out in batches and that’s why some people got it closer to 1pm and others got it after 2pm.  

yes, this part of it is not under 10C's control. BUT they could send the email a lot earlier than the on sale to make sure more people got it prior to sale

The same number of people would have got to buy one no matter when they sent it out. Just different people ticked off and different people all smiles.  

Correct, however, they'd have LESS of a reason to bitch.

yeah, like I said, I got the email over 30 minutes after the twitter notification, so if I had waited on the email, i would have been shut out.  I do this with most bands that sell limited stuff. if they have an app, download it. if they don't, get notifications from socials. 

waiting for emails is so 2006.

At the end of the day vinyl is just stuff. Well-marketed and with a mystique decades in the making, but stuff nonetheless. The music is something we all already have and love.

Funny that the people who got one are all cool and relaxed about it. 

Haha, I noticed this too. Just let people vent, its ok.

Venting definitely helped me.  I was ready to put my head through the window of my office.  I've claimed down now after many ALL CAPS messages and yelling inside of my car.

Bullmoose has it up, it's black vinyl.

https://www.bullmoose.com/p/35147305/pearl-jam-no-code-150g

To celebrate the anniversary of No Code, we are reissuing No Code on 150-gram black vinyl. This is the first time the album has been available on the format since its original release. It features recreations of their original packaging, including the set of nine replica Polaroids/lyric cards. 

The 1996 sessions for No Code featured longtime producer Brendan O'Brien (his third consecutive collaboration with the band) and drummer Jack Irons, who’d joined the band at the end of the Vitalogy sessions. They explored new approaches to writing and recording, developing songs out of jam sessions and eschewing their stadium-grunge style for self-examining ballads, garage rock and even psychedelic sounds. No Code became the band’s third consecutive No. 1 album, with lead single "Who You Are" topping Billboard’s Modern Rock chart.

This is bull what benefits does being in ten club provide if people who got on here in first ten minutes can just buy a bunch of these and then flip them on eBay 

HughFreakingDillon

I'd be acting the exact same if I didn't get one. i've gotten shut out of tones of stuff here and haven't whined once.

Well, at least they copied the same info.

I somehow got one. I never am able to grab this stuff. Saw email, hesitated but got one. Got email at 106. Ordered at 126

I got one as well. However, I have also lost out on things in the past - so it really boils down to luck. My timing was the same as yours. My email came in at 1:06. I was just leaving the gym when I saw it. After a somewhat tense walk home, I was able to order it at 1:26. I am definitely going to open and play it. I don't have any other copies of No Code on vinyl.

I would bet this will be a repress of the 2016. So to those of us that have that, it will not be worth it. But good for anyone still looking for a No Code on vinyl.

I think it is the 2016 version as well.

I'm not sure what difference it makes, I'm pretty sure it wasn't an email from the club.

Because labels have embargoes. They get pissed when things leak. Just trying to find out which distributor sent the email as most stores buy from the all of the ones still standing.

I got the email on time. I put the album in my cart and saw that I would be charged $32 for the record and $29 for shipping. As I live in Greece, when in my mind I added the extra $25 that I would be charged for income tax, I said to myself "do you need to pay $85 for a vinyl record?", removed it from my cart and continued my life. Shipping to the US cost $9.4, I believe. I know the band is from the US, but for me the shop is almost dead because of astronomical shipping costs and very high income taxes. Please make a European store that is not a joke for us European fans.
