Ok. So this was once again another thing released over night Australian time. I woke to this nightmare.

If anyone was lucky enough and got multiples at Newbury and wants to make someone really happy please PM me.
Exactly, the email came through for me at 3:17am, I was up around 5:30ish, checked emails about 20 mins later, followed link with not much hope of success and was not surprised they were sold out. Would it be too hard to release something at a time when at least most people are awake? Not the first time.
No offense, but they are an American-based band. They did release when most people were awake.
This is true, however there are more countries in the world than America and I would almost bet my house on it that the global fan base is larger than the 'American' one.

Even if they could advertise the presale like someone else has mentioned to be on at a certain time etc, then ppl can decide if they wish to get be up ready and waiting.

Would also eliminate the received emails to fan club members that arrived after they were sold out which happened to a fair few 'American' members by the looks of it.

But back to the original point us aussies are making these releases are constantly released btn 3-5am AEST, the most populus zone for Australia. Not midnight, not 6am. Either of those 2 times would still be fine for the majority of the US. And binfrog let me remind u pj hail from usa but have a global audience. Continuing that argument after 23 odd years. Omg. We are paid up members wanting a fair go. Missed mad season, all recent 7" and was only lucky on sevens because you guys in the USA second guessed. See the pattern. ..not fair to a contingent of the paid up member fan base. Mick was just explaining the situation. ..this site would melt down if it was other way around. Anyways I am privileged to have such awesome buddies on here
Please. I'm not trying to make this into anything more than it is. Like it or not, Pearl Jam is an American band...and thus they cater to the American fans when it comes to stuff like this. They released it through their site, which is based on America, and Newbury Comics...which is an east coast American company.

I fully understand the fact that they are a global band with fans all over the world. But they are based here, in America. I wouldn't expect an Australian band, or British band, etc, to cater to the American crowd when it comes to stuff like this. Maybe they do, and maybe they don't.

For the record: I got shut out of this. I was at lunch and did not get the email until it was sold out. Shit happens. I've scored some awesome vinyl, and I've missed out on a few. It's how this whole limited release game goes. That's why/how a limited release works. You win some, you lose some. Like it or not, this is what PJ is going for when they release something in limited amounts. It'd a collector's item. Not everyone can have one...otherwise it's not really a limited release now is it?

I don't even know if i would call it entitlement, but some people need to calm down. How many listenable version of Ten do you already have? This is just one more. Sure it sounds cool, but it's just one release of Ten. Everyone who got shut out needs to take a deep breath. Life will go on.

I agree, and I don't think it's reasonable to expect people at 10C to adjust their work hours just so that people on the other side of the world are awake for their sales. 10C does these things live - people are at the warehouse releasing the sale and watching for crashes and answering questions, etc. They have regular work hours there, and they shouldn't be working super early or late because of the time zone in Australia. As mentioned, they are Americans in America working for an American band sharing the item with an American company. Those around the world need to live with that. You get the benefit when a band on your side of the world does the same thing (and I guess it's too bad for you if there is no band that appeals to you as much over there).

These are the same songs that are on any other TEN record, correct? There are no bonus songs or additional special features other than the color of the record?

Am I missing something?
yes, absolutely

they are 'collectibles'.

And colored and numbered out of 2000 as well.

What's funny, if they had just said colored version Ten, and not that it was limited edition of 2000, I would not be surprised if there were still some left
Yeah, I think you're right... "Limited" seems more important than "collectible."

well tbh they tend to go hand in hand, and why wouldn't your first edition of ten be a collectible too? can only one Ten be collectible ?

I already own at least 5 copies of Ten, Purple sleeve/Clear Epic Cassette, a CD, more than one digital copy, and the Ten Reissue/REDUX, that is exactly the same as this Coke Bottle clear vinyl.

How about a 20 dollar No Code , or Binaural LP for tremorChrist's sake...

The existence of this album has nothing to do with them releasing or not releasing other albums... Some seem to think that this record being sold somehow adds to the delay in other reissues. It doesn't. Your desire for studio reissues should be the same this morning as it was yesterday morning, no?

I'm just wondering when "collectible" became a dirty word.

Lol, yeah really. Here is the link to the KISS shop. Can you see a difference? :-?

One difference I see is Kiss has a bunch of $7.95 and $9.95 T-shirts.

That easy when you have a billion dollar merchandising empire.
They have 3 pages worth of just KISS party supplies, lol.

I just got a shipping confirmation from the Ten Club for the vinyl, but I also bought a sticker (who doesn't). Any one else who maybe only bought the vinyl also get a shipping confirmation email?

Maybe when the band started focusing on selling collectibles instead of music? I'm all for things being collectible, but I'd prefer it to be collectible for reasons that are determined by the collectors instead of the merchandiser. The same thing has happened in many markets, where instead of selling high quality toys/watches/lighters(whatever) they start degrading the quality and putting numbers on them to increase their desirability. Nobody here can say that a redux of the redux was something of a hole in the Pearl Jam catalog and I think they should concentrate on efforts to release new styles of goods even if they carry a risk of not being popular or selling out the same hour you put them up for sale.

i think the point is, correct me if wrong tiki, if its that simple to do a run of 2000 specialty coke vinyls, how easy would it be at the same time to throw in a couple of the other albums during the same production run, as everyone knows they will sell.

and 10c when you start planning for no code, yield, etc please do preorders. As they are albums i would hate to miss buying

I just bought the record, no shipping notification. They are probably shipping your sticker separately.

i didnt get a chance to get one if some one could hook me up i would be for ever grateful

That's what I thought, but me paying only one shipping charge if they're going to ship the items separately seemed weird.

Thanks for the reply!

I think you are underestimating the collectors. They know what they want and what they don't want. The buyers still determine things, no doubt about it.
Also, Pearl Jam doesn't focus on selling collectibles instead of music. Come ON. If that were true, then they wouldn't be one of the best live bands to see in the world and they wouldn't have so many fucking amazing albums as well as solo careers. I can't believe that people are saying that they focus more on collectibles than music just because they put out their most successful album on coloured vinyl as a prelude to RSD. Have you all gone MAD? How much energy do you think releasing this thing has drained from the band so that you think it's making their music suffer?

I'm surprised this is already selling at eBay for hundreds of dollars. I just looked and there are auctions with many bids over $200 already. It's on lightweight vinyl and there is nothing new musically here. It's just "different".

Good luck. Likewise, if anyone wants to forego the mega bucks and help a brutha out, I missed one too.

Both those albums are in my wantlist, but I'm after the original issues for sound reasons.
