Got my shipping notice yesterday... For Another Time, Another Place. :facepalm: So, now have two of those. Awesome, guys :eyeroll:
Is anyone else still waiting for the lithographs, or poster or whatever it is?
Just realized I haven't gotten mine.
I renewed last week and already got the lithos today.
Just got a renewal email:
Looks like 2017 will be a busy one for the band - make sure you stay tuned over the next few weeks.
Ugh, so... I'm a longterm fan, but my fanclub subscription ended about a year ago, and I just haven't got around to renewing it. I intended to renew over Christmas, but forgot... and now The Joshua Tree anniversary tour has been announced, and I'm out in the cold.
Is it worth me renewing my membership this evening, or is it absolutely pointless at this stage?
If so, I'll just have to chance my luck with the general public!
If you renew now you come in the Wires ground (the second tier) that will have their presale tomorrow. So it might be worth it, I'd say.
For our 2017 special gift to subscribers we're bringing together 1987 and 2017, in a unique limited edition collection of four 10" vinyl records. On the A side of each disc you’ll find the remastered original studio track, while the B side features a live performance of the same track from this summer's tour.
With the Deluxe Vinyl set and the Record Store Day its going to be Joshua Tree Vinyl overload no?
I can't find one POP Vinyl under $100!
I'm sure people will find something to complain about, but I like it. I'm hoping for digital versions of the live tracks. This is much better than last years prints (which are sitting in my closet).
I'm with you. I think this is a really cool gift and I really like it but like you would love digital versions of the tracks.
I like it. Yay.
My only problem is that they went with 10" instead of the standard 7" or 12" and I can't really understand why...plenty of modern record players don't really support 10" and it's an old standard, anyway, that was basically made irrelevant by the 1960s. They look nice though, but I wish I could actually play them.
And I don't understand why some people are complaining about vinyl when it's basically the only major physical format we will have in the ensuing decades - digital and vinyl. The CD is quickly being made irrelevant, so you can either get a vinyl player and enjoy new (and old) physical media or you can just have these to look at. But CDs are now pointless and are just chugging along thanks to a small group of older buyers.
I'm legitimately surprised people are complaining about this gift. I thought it was stellar and maybe one of the best ones yet.
I also love collecting vinyl though so I'm sure I'm just biased. I just picked up the 90-2000 Best of Singles 7" promo set for a steal.
Anyway if you really just absolutely hate it, you could resell it for nearly double the subscription price.
But you shouldn't because it's an awesome gift.
As long as a 10" plays at an RPM that your record player supports, I don't see the issue.
