    When was the last time a Christmas single was sent out?  I'm an analog member and can't remember the last time I saw one.  A couple years, at least. 
    It was the 2016 single which was sent out in very late 2017. Some people got it in 2018.

    One side was Alive from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (I think a soundcheck) and the other side was Around and Around.
    Wait? The Alive single recording with Dave was for 2016? I received that in January I believe. So are they behind two Christmas singles?
    Can somebody answer this for me please?

    The 2016 was Alive / Around and Around
    The 2017 was due after December 31, 2017.
    The 2018 is due after December 31, 2018.

    With the cut-off date being the last day of the year, it's not due until some time after the first of the next year.

    Right now, they're only one behind, although there's another thread that suggests using the EODM song as the 2016, which would then use the 2017 single as what it's written as...which puts them right on time.

    1. I ordered my analog shirt yesterday - it was completely free. (I am 2 for 4 on the shirt. I missed I Am Analog and I don't remember what the other one I forgot to order was. I know my first year I received a package with stickers and a newsletter and such). I'm thanking you for getting my to not procrastinate. 

    2. I'm a dumbass - what is EODM?

    I never received it.  Wow, so this is what you get for 40 bucks a year as an analog member?  Disappointing.


    As others have said, it's the chance for the tickets up front that is the real benefit. Also, the shirt, the download and other stuff are all included in the package.
    Fine, but as I said, I expect to get what we agreed on.  If I send you money for something, you expect to get it, right?

    Here's what I signed up and paid for:

    Its all good, man.  EODM=Eagles of Death Metal

    I wouldn't suggest that song/single as the Holiday single as it cost $20 separate from membership.

    Okay - I know who they are. I wouldn't consider that a Holiday single either, at least not from a Pearl Jam fan club. 

    I'm guessing that was after the terrorist attacks in France? I don't recall seeing it available, but my memory is shot. 

    Thanks, I was completely blank on that one.

    a poster (Emek Rome) that regularly sells for over $500 for $35... I’m good with letting the annual single be a little late.

    The answer to your question is almost.  On Jan. 1st they will be two xmas singles behind.

    I think when they put out the last one, used a 2017 recording, and put 2017 on it.  I think they forgot they didn't do one for 2016.   When people called them out on it, they said it was a typo and that one was for 2016, which means 2017 is way late, and 2018 is a month away from being late.   They're so far behind they've pretty much lapped themselves :(

    In all honesty, if they're not into it anymore.  I'm ok with them discontinuing it.   Catch up , put out the 2017 and 2018 singles.   Change the Analog membership in 2019 to not include the xmas single.

    Just curious- if they dumped the Christmas single and kept the cost of analogue membership, would there be any reason to even have an analogue membership and how would folks feel about getting less for the same cost?

    Actually, having not received a 45 RPM Christmas single since 2015, I'm already getting less for the same cost.  Weird way of doing business, I say.

    I don’t agree with this line of thinking, and it’s exactly wht Ten Club apologists use as an excuse for them being behind. The singles should be produced before the year starts, not after its over. And it should ship & you should receive it shortly after your membership is renewed.

    Not for me.  The Tshirt and Digital Download code aren't enough to entice me to pay for Analog.  It's the single.  Unless they kicked in a year gift like U2 does, I'd go to digital.

    Yea, the only reason I am Analog is because of the 7" singles.

    Yes, same here.  No single, I go digital.  And being digital strongly goes against my analog nature!

    The smart move would be for me to go back to digital.  I’m only analog for the single, which when I was digital I had no problem finding either through the shop or otherwise.  The T-shirts are totally paint-my-house-in drawer filler

    Yep, the 2016 single with 2017 performances & graphics, delivered in 2018.
    You forgot to add that the sleeve was titled 2017 single.
    I don't know why anyone would be confused about all this.
