I think the amount that was pressed was more than enough. These were available over an hour after they went on sale. I'm pretty sure most people that wanted one got one.
Not sure about that
Look at all the vault 1 complaints and that was up for 6 days, those complaints I do find ridiculous, however I do think anything that is gone in a little over an hour is valid for a complaint if someone didn’t get it in time.
people would have been upset no matter what though as it always sells out just before someone tries to buy it no matter how long it’s up
Correct. I could complain that there were no benny pop up drops in the UK, but I don’t. They were elsewhere and kudos to those that go them. I’ll trade my fresh press if anyone has a spare benny from a pop up I had no access to…
I'm willing to bet Ed pays zero attention to what merch they sell.
yeah, the first time someone asks him for his signature on this variant he'll say no thinking it's a bootleg.
You guys don't think he know what versions of his own music get's officially released? Come on. The shirts, pins, whatever, sure probably doesn't care that much but I'm sure he knows with the music itself at least.
the different versions and variants? I don't know. there's a shitload of different versions and variants that are released internationally. maybe this one needs a "sign off" of his or something, but it wouldn't surprise me if he forgets about it as quickly as he found out about it. I'm sure he knows about commercial singles and releases, but limited editions and such? wouldn't seem important.
You're forgetting the fact that this is an early pressing of his new album. I guarantee he'll get a copy, and probably a handful to give out to friends. Sure something like the coke bottle Ten he might not care much about, but the first time to hold your new album on vinyl? It's important.

I find it hard to believe Ed isn’t involved in all the decisions, right down to the artwork. He finds out pressing of the new album is delayed. 10Club finds a plant that can do a quick run of 4000. Ed says, “let’s make it look like a test pressing”. They come back with what you see on the website and he gives it the go-ahead.
These guys are involved in everything they do… there are videos of JA at the plant while the sleeves were being printed on his last solo record.

Pearl Jam played Third Man Records once... maybe they were able to squeeze in production of 4000 copies of Earthling for EV. Not holding my breath but it's a nice dream.

Lots of members have multiple accounts. (1 for me, my wife, each kid and dog)
Technically I think that’s ok. People and their spouses probably do it for mostly for ticketing to double their chances. One per household might fix some of that

Definitely ok, limited merch and tickets is why they do it.

Fair play…my partner is in to PJ too, but I fear if I asked her to join the 10C as it would give us more chance of spending £$€ on vinyl, merch & tickets, the restraining order would be in the post the next day 😊😂

Wow, first reaction is I'm kinda sick of this. Releasing a vinyl then releasing another "special" limited version to get double the money. I know I know, if you don't like it don't buy it. I won't.
I agree.
First they take the money for the standard LP and/or deluxe CD, then tell us it won’t ship for another 5-6 months. Then they offer a $3 coupon if you buy a different copy. Finally they announce another version of the vinyl that is due to ship on time. This had better be the album of the year after all of this!
Sounds similar to the way the 2020 North American tour has been handled. First they take the money for that tour. Then they announce Ohana and SHN. Then they announce that the postponed original tour will be revealed "early next year." Finally they announce the Earthlings tour.
The audacity of this organization to ask for more money from people while asking them to keep their funds locked up for either two years for shows or for months because of vinyl delays is baffling, to say the least.

one per household would mess me up b/c I never know if others in my household are buying the same thing. The way things drop you usually have to be fast to get it. I'd likely end up getting orders canceled and having to contact them to try to get one.
Got one...first time in a long time I got an actual limited drop during the day. I'm usually working and miss them. Caught it during my lunch hour. My order number ends in 3914, so it looks like I barely got in.

"don't but that EV record I just did."
"Why are you buying another record!"
Could be problematic.
But, then, if someone in your household bought it without telling you, then you wouldn't need to buy it. It seems like you'd have more problems with the current system, as you end up with multiple copies of things.
"I'm a lucky man, to count on both hands the [shows I've done]. Some folks just have one, others they got none..."
Eddie could have printed more. The buck stops at the one deciding to make things limited.
Not defending people flipping. But Eddie and PJ know their market and they decide to not make enough.
At this point, I'm kind of over being upset about flipping. 10C knows this is going to happen when they release limited-edition-10C-only merch, and yet, they keep doing it. Flippers are smart enough to recognize the market and make some money. Fine by me.

It would depend on if the other person in your household was a partner or just a roommate that shared your address.
It would be cool if they continue with the random variants in the normal preorders for vinyl. I like the fact that there may be different variants. For the collectors who must have every color of every edition, it might be impossible, but It’s cool to have something you can’t go out and just buy in the record stores or online other than Tenclub. I’m not a crazy collector and need every color of every LP. Still keeping my order for the delayed copy regardless

Not impossible, just have to come to the realization that I will have to pay resale on prolly 80% of releases.

True. Or just forgo the color or edition you don’t have. Lol. I missed out on the clear No Code. Would like one, but not needed. The original release if fine for me. If I find one or trade, then great… if not, life moves on. Good luck to those that are ISO

Yep - and this is probably the real reason not to switch to "one per address". Also, there are still ways around it, depending on how important it is to you.

as long as they only cancel one of the two. Ok. But yes if roommate or kid. Then you want your own copy. Tricky.
