How many ten club members are there? And why isn’t there enough vinyl to cater for each member to purchase? If there is leftover stock after that put it on the normal shop, being in Australia and missing 5am limited releases is incredibly frustrating, especially considering the band won’t come to Australia anymore. The membership is virtually useless

It’s not a 10club release, it’s a Walmart exclusive. My guess is the 10club got some of Walmart’s allocation but since it’s a Walmart release they can’t realistically get them all.

there is a black version available worldwide, and it’s still available at Walmart but I guess shipping international isn’t an option from Walmart

As much as it sucks to say, with Walmart I'm not paying for shipping and I actually trust it to get to me in a timely manner.

how do they pack records? 10c = lots of TLC. I imagine WM may chuck them in a big box banging around.

"Lots of TLC"?
They put it in a cardboard mailer. There are no peanuts, just the thinnest bubble wrap available. We all have seen the box they use. It's no better than what other places do.

Packing peanuts for a regular sized LP? If that’s the case whoever is shipping that is using boxes that are way too big. Why on earth would you want that album bouncing around. 10C does what you need to do. Never received anything packed incorrectly.

My last few orders:

Amazon: they wrapped my Prince LP in a sealed white plastic bag and slapped a shipping label on it. All four corners were destroyed.

Target: they placed the non gatefold 1LP record in a box that could hold a tricycle.

Walmart: actually used a record mailer. No bubblewrap but it was secure within the cardboard.

Amazon sent me one in a plastic bag too recently. It actually arrived with 4 sharp corners which was just dumb luck. When I saw it on the porch I couldn’t believe anyone would ship a record like that

target: yep same as you

Walmart is a multinational corporation that treats their employees like garbage. Paying an extra $10-$20 to not support them and instead support the people who work for one of your favorite bands is well worth it. Even though I missed out on the 10C sale I would gladly have paid for it but I’m too broke this month.

They are an American band. They don’t owe International, or American fans for that matter, anything.

Er, global citizens, by their own admission and deeds

Let’s all lose our minds over a piece of colored plastic that has songs we’ve already been listening to for years

My Walmart issue is in high school I remember them restricting the music releases they would sell. Anything “too controversial” was not carried. Problem was they already had undercut the local music store on prices so much it was out of business. At that point in a small town in the mid 90’s the only option I had was Walmart to buy music and they refused to stock several of the CD’s I was into at the time. They took over and then purposely limited access and choice to music. Only selling edited versions of albums when you do carry it is another thing they did (still do?).

I’m a hypocrite as I did buy RVM from them. However it’s probably my only Walmart purchase in over 20 years. This release supports Walmart though no matter if you bought from 10c or not. I don’t understand the idea of an artist being ok with a company who is into censoring artists. They may not have censored Pearl Jam but that shouldn’t matter

Just checked and Walmart still has copies for those who missed out on the club.

Funny you bring this up. Just last week I was listening to Sheryl Crow’s self-titled 2nd album. I’d completely forgotten Walmart banned that album until the line in “Love Is A Good Thing” played. She got the last laugh as it went 3x Platinum.
