    I just got a membership renewal notice today and it got me upset. I remember this time last year I said I would renew because this is the year that they will send us the overdue singles......but nothing. Again. It’s not right 10c!

    That occurred to me too.  The 2016 single, seems like it was supposed to be a 2017 single, until they forgot they never sent one out in 2016 and rename it to 2016.   They might of used the budget on other things.  

    I think PJ/10c is a bit unique.  10c isn't only the fan club.  They seem to handle most of PJ's operations including the online store.    It makes it feel like fans directly pay for PJ's active operations through fan club dues.   Most other bands separate their fan club from their general operations.   They might of spent it on overhead.. who knows?  It does seem odd, that other vinyl keeps coming out, while these would seem ready to press.

    I'm also wondering what happened with that fire where the factory that makes the liqueur's for pressing vinyl got damaged.  I thought it was going to slow down vinyl for a long while, but more and more vinyl seems to be coming out everywhere.

    Its shame that we have to guess what is going on when all they have to do is just tell us. Once again, no one here is demanding these records tomorrow. We just want some communication and for someone to step up and take some responsibility here.

    I've been mocked for years and am still mocked to this day over the same thing we've been talking about for over 3 years. It's been over a year since I contacted the AG's office which was the reason why we got any communication on this a year ago. They told us to update our addresses a year ago. They knew damn well that they weren't going to be sending this stuff out but they were pretending that they were to silence us for a moment.

    Not having the records in my hands is not what bothers me. The dishonesty and lack of communication is pathetic. We are all adults here and can handle the truth. Why not share it? No one seems to care. Pearl Jam is 30 years old. I would never imagine this is how they want to treat their fan club but somehow it is.

    in march of this year metallica launched its vinyl club aiming to issue 4 vinyl singles per year. got the 1st one yesterday. they had delays too for various reasons which they communicated and apologised profusely for. i'll assume metallica's operation is somewhat larger but thats how you do it.

    Hey man I just want to say thanks for potentially lighting a fire under their ass. I am holding a torch behind you. I find it a bit hypocritically that a band who typically stand for doing what's right, who champion records/vinyl, who are kind to people through their foundations.....treat their diehard fans with no respect. Whether it's the band or the club or both....it's not right! It is making me judge the band.
  • I really wish you could file a chargeback from 3 years ago on your cc.
    Except you'd have to return the shirt, any tickets purchased, forum access, 10C radio access, anything sold on the shop to members, etc.

    It seems that 10c and its subscribers see the singles differently. As a subscriber I always thought it was part of what I was paying for each year and one of the main reasons I signed up year after year. Its starting to really concern me about what has happened to all the money I paid.

    Spotted a stack of the annual singles in the background of the photo from Ed’s interview with Howard Stern today.  Maybe waiting waiting for Ed to sign them?

    How come the [2017 Single: Wildflowers/Keep Me in Your Heart] is not available as digital download? I am not seeing that. I am seeing the download for  [2018 Single: Hunted Down/Missing]. 
    There should be both, no?
    Just like both Deep mag downloads.

    would have been cool if one of the singles would have been Get It Back b/w Can't Deny Me. didn't they give both of those songs to members for free anyway?
    Hugh Freaking Dillon is currently out of the office, returning sometime in the fall

    Really immoral to accept peoples analog money in 2017 and not deliver on the goods by now. Come on 10c, I didnt give you the money as a donation, I am a customer who paid for goods. Something that was once a really cool thing has been tarnished and nothing short of shambolic.

    I love the word shambolic. I don’t even care if it’s a real word.

    Its a real word here in the UK. If we are talking of good words I like stramash. Thats what there's going to be if these singles dont turn up soon.

    Awesome.  I’m going to keep both of those in my holster and can’t wait for my first chance to whip them out. 😀

    Bump.. Dumb stuff and super lame not to have these by now. Criminal way to treat fans. I know the band appreciates us, but give us what we paid for before everything else gets pressed. Really dumb and I keep hanging around here...even dumbererer.

    This is another fine example of the rich taking advantage of a situation with no consequences. This has turned less about the singles and more about respect or the lack there of. Someone, ANY ONE, at the 10c has to know something about what is going on. They choose not to communicate with us. For a band that prides themselves as standing up for the greater good, they sure have exposed their hypocrisy here.

    You can not tell me that 5 dudes collectively worth almost $400 million dollars can't produce a handful of vinyl singles. The longer this goes on, the more nefarious it seems and becomes. Regardless of the legal aspects, it is morally bankrupt to treat any one like this let alone the fans that gave you your success.

    Would just like to know whats happened to the money we all paid. 4 years worth of subscriptions, its no small amount.
