The announcement only said 10c members would have 30 minutes to buy before the band posts it on instagram.

Did it actually say Blood wouldn't announce it either? A password would've been cool. I've seen that before

Yup. "Exclusive window".

Great point. It doesn’t. Blood have a big cult following as well. I’ve followed them for some time now as they have had some cool stuff

One would expect this would be something anyone familiar with selling limited merch knows and, therefore, brings clauses into their agreements. If 10C didn't bother with that.... yikes.

Exactly. All that matters is what the contract states.

It actually does. "For the next half hour, 10C members will have an exclusive window to purchase this special pressing from Blood Records"

Sounds like they're still in production (November ship date) so increasing it to 2k or 3k would be great.

“Exclusive window…..…….

……..alongside Blood Records’ 75,000 rabid instagram followers, many of whom reflexively buy their releases based on scarcity and perceived trade / resale value”

Coooooool 👍

Looks like Blood even had a timer up for it before it went up.

I clicked on the email link about a minute after receiving it. The page showed I think ~800 had been sold. I went through the checkout process via Paypal and clicked purchase. I then got bounced out as it said it was sold out, but when I refreshed the page only 998 had been sold. After refreshing one more time it said it was sold out with 1002 sold.

The thing is why did blood records tweet it if 10c had an exclusive window for the first half hour?

Kwieneke · September 5

the plot thickens.... I don't even want it. I just don't like how it happened. Shitty to 10c

Stoj · September 5

So we're not gonna mention that it was supposed to go live to the public on 9/8, not today 9/5.

matt84 · September 5

They announced the 1k drop this morning. With Blood Records it’s always a good idea to be ready for 6pm. Zoetrope picture discs are absolutely awful though.

MikeDigs · September 5

Exactly, something isn't right. 10c members were expected to have an "exclusive 30 min window" as stated. We did not get that. I wonder how many 10c members actually got a copy? 2 or 3?

iOnlyownMymind · September 5

So there's about a total of 2 tenclub members who got this? ha, so stupid. Should have been exclusive to 10c members where you have to enter a code to order, before before being released widely. How hard is it to do that?

RS65573 · September 5

I dont think anyone in 10C got it.

tdawe · September 5

This 10 Club exclusive window reminds me of the 10 Club exclusive purple pressing of Ten.

gibbits · September 5

Wouldn't it be cool to get some information or weigh-in from a 10C person like @Santos L. Halper, @Kat, or @Rubysdad? Would be kinda professional to at least come out with a statement - even if it's "We're looking into this."

89 COPIES UP ON EBAY

camerjamer · September 5

I got one. I think it was 10 club maybe that screwed up? Sent email to late?

MS149515 · September 5

The way this was handled that it screwed the people that got the e-mail - bad form. BUT...............

I read the e-mail at about 12:45 CDT so I was way past the window. I was bummed out for ~1 minute and then realized that I regretted buying the clear/black/10C red copies when the album was released after they announced the regional & RSD variants. It just screamed money-grab to me.

I broke my knee back in June and couldn't attend the Wrigley or Philly shows and I'm actually ok with all of it. I'm saving a ton of money and I need to get rid of all this random merch that I've acquired.

We need to stop being lemmings people

MikeDigs · September 5

It's a blessing in disguise. I'll just wait for the next DM variant

Uk 10C member and got one. But only because I follow Blood as avidly as I follow the 10C 🤷🏻‍♂️

I’m hopeful there will be some make up with this from Craig (Blood Founder) & Ten Club.

Enough to satisfy us fans? Probably not! 😬

If Blood is at fault I'd prefer the band doesn't do any further business with them. If it turns out 10Cs fault, guess its time for lost dogs 2

You know how they can make this up?? A whole new variant, dedicated to the 10c, where we get a true exclusive 48 hour window to buy it!

this seller has atleast 4 and i bet more.

scurtis · September 5

It's too bad it went down the way it did, and I don't mean this as a criticism of anyone, but I don't expect anyone at Blood or 10c to care. My guess is if they do anything, it will be a 2nd pressing of the album that looks totally different with a totally different run from Blood.

drfox · September 5

Not sure how much non UK fans are aware of Blood Records, but this was a standard drop for them. Usually at 6pm UK time (but on occasions in the morning). They always say on their Instagram stories. The artist is always unveiled at the time of the drop. They’ve released records for most of the world most popular artists in the last year or two (eg Coldplay, Green Day, QOTSA, Olivia Rodrigo, Kings of Leon, Oasis etc). Literally every new album (or major anniversary re-release) released in the U.K. gets a blood records version nowadays and I was really surprised they didn’t drop a version of Dark Matter back in the spring

I got one, but only because a friend saw it posted somewhere and knew I'd be into it
