I'll probably be the only one who feels this way.

But, honestly, I don't need any more vinyl.  My ears work the same no matter the format.  

This band has been wonderful to us.  The Ten Club has been wonderful to us.

Tough times are here.  

Let's be a family.

    They are 3 years late and haven’t provided anything yet in terms of physical copies yet. We paid for these years ago, it’s a joke we waited this long. They should say thank you for taking our money 3 years ago and us being patient until they could get around to it.

    Didn’t they address all of this yesterday?

    I'm okay to wait.  I sincerely thank PJ/10c for the communication yesterday, but I still want my physical single when it is pressed.  I'm not yelling and screaming about it.  But . . . when it materializes-- yes, I would like my copies.  If it reflects poorly on me, I'm okay with that. Someone has to be the black sheep.  I'm a middle child.  I'm used to it.

    They addressed it with more excuses. I’m not mad about it or losing sleep on it, more important things to worry about. But the OP wants us to thank the ten club ? Are you serious? They treated their paying fans poorly , we paid them 3 years ago for this. Do this, go pay for a meal at a local restaurant and then wait 3 years to actually get the food with no updates and See how many people want to thank that restaurant for the food. Might be a bad example but stop kissing their butt. They fucked up and should apologize and send everyone signed 3 D view finder that they just release. Whatever the fuck that is

    Haha. When I was 4 and it lost its appeal after 6 minutes.

    They had different disks to combat the problem of boredom. :lol:

    Thread integrity- Thank you for the thought, OP, but no thank you. Please send the physical media when it is ready and the world has calmed.

    Vinyl is wildly overrated. The music is what matters and I'm glad we have that. But...they do need to provide the records to those who paid the Analog price.

    I understand your point and I've felt the same way.  But really?  Do you really need that piece of plastic?  Let's face it, vinyl is kind of ridiculous.  It's really for people holding on to a time long past.  time to move on.

    I disagree wholeheartedly. But you are entitled to your opinion. 
    There is nothing nostalgic or romantic about “Hey Google, Play Gigaton” and then proceeding to empty the dishwasher 😂

    Maybe not yet. But once we have Apple Chips or the iBrain where we just think of music and it plays in our ear canals, we might think, “hey, remember when we used have to tell a device to play the music... good times.”

    I don't need the delivery mechanism for my music to be nostalgic or romantic. The easier it is to access and the less space it takes up, the better.

    I never play singles, so they get here when they get here. Definitely want em though. Was kinda hoping they'd go a little above and beyond because of the delay but que sera sera.

    Vinyl to me is a little romantic but mostly about owning a physical copy of the music. With streaming services, you're at the mercy of whatever selections/versions they give you and you miss out on the booklet/artwork. I'm glad I have digital files, but I realllllly regret selling all my CDs back years ago.

    I’m just wondering why 10c can easily push out a silly little 3D viewer children’s toy, but have trouble pushing out an already paid for 10c single us fans have already paid for 3 years ago. 🤔

    Once again, you are entitled to your opinion. I do need the delivery mechanism. It includes the hunt for the record, opening it up and looking at the artwork and the liner notes... my ritual for storing each new album. 

    Do I have Sirius in my truck for highly compressed versions when I drive, sure. But the difference in sound on the turntable with my HiFi system is very noticeable.

    Bingo. And I’m starting to grab all the CDs again while they are cheap. CD nostalgia will be the next thing.

    I really should start doing this but it feels so daunting. There's so much random shit that I can't find streaming anywhere aside from YouTube on occasion. I would kill to have some of those CDs back.

    Good record stores have loads of used CDs. If you are just getting back in you won’t have a problem finding some of your old treasures.
    I still mostly buy the wax... but I’ll grab a couple of CDs and throw them in a box. Don’t even own a CD player outside of my truck.  Cassettes and 8-tracks? Not there yet, but maybe someday lol

    How many times do I have to tell you to stop stalking me and then telling the whole world what I’m doing?  SMDH.
