I just received ONA Boxset and am a little disappointed

I was one of those club members that joined late and didn't receive the Piano cd and was told that it would be shipped out with the next set of shipments (which we all know now was the box set.) Well I just received my ONA Box set and only one copy of the Piano, which was included within the box set. I'm a little disappointed because everyone that joined at the beginning of the year received two copies (the original shipment plus the extra in the box set). I had really hoped NPGMC would come through and send me both copies as I had someone with whom I was going to give the extra copy. Ahhh well. Learn from experience.

I believe I joined in May of this year. Too late for the first shipment of the ONA Piano cd.

Actually First, the letdown is that I didn't join early enough to take part in all the perks of the club, and would really like to receive the same as the other club members. I also wanted to send a copy to a friend of mine that cannot join the club, and now I can't. THAT is the biggest letdown for me.

I was thinking the same thing, but it's not so much that there is an inequality of the shipments between club members that joined earlier and club members that joined later, but more that I wanted to send a copy to a friend. I still get to enjoy the music, but a friend who couldn't afford to join (and doesn't live close enough to listen to my cds) will not be able to hear the music.

Burn a copy of the CD if you feel entitled to two copies.

Well, look at it this way...you joined the club three months later than I did, and you are now in possession of all 4 CDs. I joined on day one (was also a member in year 1) and I'm still waiting for ONA live.

I joined in June and got my ONA a week later. And I got my copy of Xenophobia in August as advertised.

Why did you think they send in the 2nd copy in the first place. Because they couldn't be arsed to check if someone already received his/hers copy. Would be kinda stupid to add 2 copy for those that didn't get it, now wouldn't it?
