I say who gives a fuck. It doesn't matter to me if the cd is exclusive or not. Why do I care if other people are able to listen to soemthing or not?

People certainly over-react to such things around here. People spend way too much time worrying about the $100 investment they made 9 months ago. Its fairly sad IMO.

To finish my thought...People are more then willing to spend $125 for a concert (which is way more outrageous then Prince releasing cd's to both the club and retail), but for a $100 membership fee they want the world.

Hmmm. There's a few things even I can think of:
For people who are already members concerts are optional. Depending on your location, income, willingness to spend and travel you can see 0 or more shows.
The membership came with some relatively clear promises.
Concerts only have promises (contracts?) known to promotors. Not so much is promised to the fans before the presale starts.
Also concerts and memberships cannot be compared that easily; they are completely different 'products'.

So don't be too amazed about the difference in reaction to relatively closely priced 'products'.

NPGMC should be clear in their communciation. Exact promises and definitions. No vage vapourware along the year unless included in the membership or actually available to the general public. No false hope.
Oh well...

I don't mind that it isn't exclusive. I do mind that others are getting it first. I was under the impression we got first dibs on the music.

I was wrong.

Do you mean Joe Kelley? I got the impression that he received the copy so that we could listen to it while waiting for ours. But I surely want mine before it goes to retail.

Indeed. But I reckon that P wants to be able to say to Jay Leno that this set is already in the hands of the music club members, to try and hype up the club. Otherwise, what's the point? So I reckon we'll get it
a) soon and
b) before retail, and
c) before Mr Leno.


Oh, and d) after Mr Kelley.
