45 RPM Club (the official TGA fan club)

Patience wins. I just got two emails: one processing the Fan Club order, and the other processing the records I purchased. Whew…my concern was wasted energy...

Dear Friends,

We know some of you have experienced issues with fulfillment from our Webstore & our 45 RPM Club, we wanted to let everyone know that we have now just changed to a new fulfillment partner which we will launch with today. We believe the fulfillment will be much smoother going forward, and we hope you will enjoy the experience more.

finally! great news...

I just recently joined, how long does it take to be granted access to pre sale tickets? I'm just afraid I held out too long for it maybe.. .

"Casanova, Baby!".....

Ha ha. Cute.

Has anyone been able to renew their membership this year? I joined August 2013 & at some point got an email saying memberships were being extended to December 2014. I don't see anywhere to renew??

I have been waiting for this information as well. According to 45rpmclub@gmail.com when I emailed them the instructions are coming...

so when are we getting this year's 45?

I was wondering the same thing. I'm in the same boat...

There is lots of info on the current 7'' mailing on page 3 of this thread:

And the package with the shirt and 7" showed up yesterday

Could you please post a pic, but so that people have to click to see it, as some may want to be surprised?

Still unfulfilled as well. I thought they sent an email out 4 months ago stating that they switched merchandising companies and the hope was everything would be better.

what a mess. It's been what, 2.5-3 years and they still haven't been able to sort this thing out? I really wonder what I am paying for - especially if they're going on hiatus (won't need pre-sale codes) and end up selling exclusive club merch through their website anyhow (Anywhere I Lay My Head).

This is pretty much the Pet Rock club of fan clubs.

What is this shirt and 7"? Is this something all members are supposed to be getting in 2015?

It should be if you renewed this year.

Oh ok. Thanks!

If you wonder what the record and shirt look like, somebody over instagram posted a picture: https://instagram.com/cas_tries/

Wasn't there supposed to be a digital version as well? Has anyone had that? I kind of expected it to come first, but I got the record and t-shirt ages ago, and still no sign.

Still unfulfilled.  Last Update I got was that email that went around over 5 months ago in mid-April.

Good thing this is only $25 year, but even at that it hasn't been worth it at all.  They should just ditch the entire club because having something that's ran as poorly is this is worse than having nothing at all.  

I believe it started with good intentions but it's just a mess now.  And who knows, what the hell we will even get out of it the next 2, 3, 4 ,or however many years the band is on hiatus?

Hugely disappointing. I'll probably try to cancel but I am sure the processing time for that will be at least 18-24 months.

I gather that they have issued/are issuing refunds to everyone who joined in the last year, and that the web page will remain up until all refunds are issued. After that it's goodbye to the 45RPM Club, unless it gets resurrected when/if the Gaslight Anthem's hiatus comes to an end.

I can't see it being back, even if TGA are.

Nothing issued here. I still can't get any response for months.

nothing here. just unfulfilled promises, ignored emails and stolen money.
