    Thank you.  It feels calmer in here already.
    Hope it's worth the risk.

    If anything happens to me, JC16057, you can have my Christmas singles 2013-2018 (when I get them).
    That's not what this is about. They can deliver the singles in 10 years for all I care. I am only asking for communication. We deserve that at a bare minimum.
    So if the delay isn’t the issue, is your complaint only because of the lack of communication? Is there anything in the terms and conditions stating that 10C would commit to regular communication? Not trying to stir shit up, just genuinely curious
    I understand that shit happens. We don't know what has been going on with Pearl Jam for the last few years. We know they've been through some rough stuff but everyone goes through stuff. We still have obligations that we need to take care of. To answer your second question, I don't think there are terms and conditions but legally I believe they are supposed to communicate what is going on after such a long delay and others believe this to be true as well. These guys are all millionaires that don't have day jobs because we the fans have supported them. I'm sorry but I don't feel bad for rich people. This is another example of the rich shitting on the poor in my eyes. It's bad enough that there has been such a long delay but the lack of communication is pathetic. It's almost like they just don't care.

    The last response we got was not genuine. The only time Pearl Jam contacts the members is to sell us more stuff. Why can't they put a little note in each monthly email stating that they know they are behind and are actively working on it? They can announce Vault 9, MTV Unplugged, the new album and a new tour yet they aren't announcing anything regarding these items which we paid for years ago. Every year that goes by they are digging a bigger hole for themselves. How are they going to rectify that they owe us 3 DEEP Magazines? Some have already paid for the 4th DEEP Magazine in 2020.

    My issues are more with how this has been handled than the actual delay. I couldn't treat my fans or my customers like this because I would be out of business if I did but I'm not rich and powerful.
    What is your end game here?  10c stated in Sept newsletter they would ship when ready.  Do you just want them to keep saying that every month that passes?  
    I do, at least it acknowledges the situation and pretends that someone might actually give a f***.

    Just a thought. Maybe they decided to wait for the new album and use tracks that didn't make the cut for the last 10c singles. Announce and send out after the album releases.
    This is also my guess - or there could even be an elaborate Holiday Singles package featuring all of them? Wishful thinking there most likely, lol.  It's cool that there's some of the older ones on iTunes now.

    Would people accept a 3/4LP set of all the singles compiled instead of 2 new singles (well, I guess Can't Deny Me would be on there too)?

    At some point we should just give up on these last two singles. Maybe in 2030?

    My end game is to keep applying pressure. We wouldn't have ANY information if I hadn't put pressure on them back in August and September. This is obviously not a concern to them. It's just another example of rich people doing whatever they want because they have the power and can. Is better and honest communication really too much to ask? It's been 4 months since the last announcement.

    You aren't the only one who contacted them. I got the same canned response from Tim that you did. Just a template copy/paste.

    If pressing the vinyl was the problem Im ok to wait till forever. But I would have appreciated it if they shared the songs digitally for their members.

    I agree that there is a terrible lack of communication from their side, they only communicate to us when they have something to sell.

    But IMHO making a case or lawsuit is really overreacting, even if they are wrong here (which they are). They will deliver eventually, they will make excuses and Ill accept and move on. And hopefully we can expect original material for these singles, I would be really dissapointed if they are giving us some live recordings....
    I used to believe that, but I now believe that if threads like this didn't exist, and JB didn't push it with the AG, we might never see them. The problem with this band's communication is exactly what JB pointed out. Lots of vagaries and little actual information. Bierman's quote was obvious bullshit meant to placate the AG and it provided no useful info. The singles appear to be as forthcoming as the album with CDM on it.

    I'm losing zero sleep over the singles, not that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things, but I do think 10c and the band need to feel some heat for their indifference to their loyal (and paying) fans and their inability or unwillingness to meet their obligations.

  • Maybe signs at the shows will actually draw some attention. 
  • I'm confident that the two singles will come this year -- everyone's busy with an album rollout and tour. There are going to be leftover tracks and there's still "Can't Deny Me" so I can imagine we'll get these singles released later this year after the first leg of the tour is complete and the album is out in the wild. I don't think any additional pressure is going to matter -- 10C has been dilligent with newsletter updates, Vault releases, etc. etc. Who honestly thinks they are ignoring this thread and all the others? Why would they do that to spite the fans on a commitment they've already started explicitly on this site?

    Don't hold up signs at the show, but I could get behind someone getting one of those banner planes to fly a message around each venue. That would be pretty funny.

    Or what about the ‘play leash you pussies’ sign!! 
    Banners or signs may actually work!
