2016 Single

Thanks! Looks great! Dated 2016 for the download but dated 2017 on the "print" materials.  Wondering what the scoop there is? 

The scoop is that you're not getting an issue of the Deep magazine, which you payed for in your annual subscription. 

Not only they're not keeping up with their own terms (one annual subscription will give you a single and a magazine, whether it's in digital or physical format), they're not even involved with the whole process apparently. Not a word from the band in the magazine, not a sign that any of them was around for making this. This 2017 issue is about the crew and the previous 2015 issue was a guide to Kevin Shuss' PJ memorabilia collection. Don't get me wrong, it's great to know the behind the scenes stuff and the collection is a great trip down memory lane, but where's the band? 

Did it really take them 2 years to produce an issue like this? Jeez, even the "Letters" section is composed of three screenshots of this forum! 

Like someone said here on in another thread, they should revisit their 10C perks and revise their prices accordingly. As it is right now, it's not working properly.

It is gone, this is the week of someone accidentally putting downloads into accounts, yesterday it was Vault 7 non album track mp3s, today an issue of Deep, Tomorrow?!?!?!

I think the problem with the 10c doing variable gifts instead of vinyl is that they're usually running behind.   U2 does different stuff every year but they announce it advance, so you can then proceed to buy a membership to get that years item.   10c runs late, so you'd blindly be paying for your membership not knowing what the gift is.

I buy the analog membership to keep the Christmas single collection going.  The download codes only make the mp3 version free (lowest/cheapest option available).  You have to pay to upgrade to flac and they don't work on cd's.   Thus I don't really use the codes.    The free shirts are ok for pajama shirts, but they've mostly been a little too ugly to wear around in public.  

If they did discontinue the vinyl singles, it would make it a lot easier for me to go to a digital membership.   I like the Christmas singles though, so I don't really want to see them stop.   In reality the 10c is really behind on them, so maybe it's time?

#ReasonableConclusions: I don't think so. Assuming so, would mean TC is clearly doing a fraud. Yeah, I know we're talking about  some pieces of paper most of us look at once and then store away, but still a fraud.
#10cDoesn'tCommunicateProperly: 100% agree. But I still can't believe they're just "forgetting" one year.
If you have doubts, better shoot them an email than assuming things on here.

Well, those assumptions weren't mine, but absent facts, assumptions are all we have. And facts aren't knowable when the holder of those facts doesn't communicate.

Fraudulent? Only if they don't deliver a 2016 and a 2017 package to people who have paid dues for both 2016 and 2017, but I'm not throwing around that word at this point. Negligent? Yup. Lazy? Yup. Indifferent? Yup.
