Pearl Jam’s Ten Re-Released

It’s hard to believe that its been 18 years since the release of the debut album by Pearl Jam -  Ten. It went on to sell 12 million copies. The album has been  reissued and became available last weekend. The reissue of Ten serves as the launch of a planned two-year catalogue re-release campaign leading up to the band’s 20th anniversary in 2011.

This collector’s edition box set includes two versions of the album: the remastered version of the original album PLUS an accompanying remixed version done by the band’s long-time producer, Brendan O’Brien (Bruce Springsteen, AC/DC, Audioslave). The remixed version includes six bonus tracks: “Brother,” “Just a Girl,” “State of Love and Trust,” “Breath and a Scream,” “2,000 Mile Blues”, and “Evil Little Goat.” Both versions come on both CD and vinyl in this package.

A new DVD has also been released featuring Pearl Jam’s previously unreleased 1992 MTV Unplugged performance including never before seen bonus performance of “Oceans” with 5.1 surround sound audio remix.

The collection also includes 2 more LPs featuring Drop in the Park – Live at Magnuson Park in Seattle on September 20, 1992 (audio mixed by Brendan O’Brien), plus a cassette replica of original “Momma-Son” Pearl Jam demo cassette featuring “Alive,” “Once” and “Footsteps.”

The package also includes an Eddie Vedder-style composition notebook filled with replica personal notes, images and mementos from the collections of Eddie Vedder and Jeff Ament, a vellum envelope with replicated era-specific ephemera from Pearl Jam’s early work and a two-sided print commemorating the Drop in the Park concert.
