SUPER ten!
anyone who knows me knows how much of a pearl jam fan i was (and, i guess, continue to be) when i was growing up. i still remember being the first person i knew with the stickman shirt. they really spoke to me, maaaaaan. now, fuck, look at this:

it's the "super-deluxe edition" reissue of ten. LOOK AT THAT. comes with a reproduction of their first demo cassette! a replica of one of ed vedder's notebooks! an unreleased concert from the era on 2 vinyl albums! photos! a DVD! completely redone album artwork and a total remix of the music! bonus tracks! books! FUCK!

cost: $150. seriously. but it actually looks to be worth it.

luckily, my birthday's in march, when this thing comes out. no bloody way am i not going to get this.

oh, and supposedly this is just the first of a series of rereleases leading up to PJ's 20th anniversary in 2011. oh, dear.

20 years? Holy shit balls.

And yeah, this looks super sweet. I don't like them nearly enough anymore, and in fact I fell off the PJ train soon after their 2nd or 3rd album, but damn, I'd like to pour over this for a bit. I still have my original CD copy of Ten. Listened to it obsessively.

$150 actually sounds cheap!

i have my original CASSETTE copy of ten. listened to it so many times, i still have the tape-wear dropouts in my head as part of the songs.

i haven't listened to this album in quite a long time, but it represents a big part of my musical (and personal) life. and bravokudos to PJ for really putting some work into making something that isn't just some rote reissue with b-sides. this right here is why i'm still in the ten club.

it's because they care. *wipes tear*

It's gonna be real hard for me not to bust out the credit card for this...

preorder is already happening at pearljam.com. some of the box sets are going to be signed by the band, apparently, for random orders.

i just wonder what they're gonna do for vs. and vitalogy? those albums still sound great, and i don't think there's a whole lot of extra material lying around from those eras.

If there's a No Code set I'm all over it - I'm sure these will all be limited edition so i might as well order it now anyway - they'll probably not be made available for long

pretty sure they're not limited edition, even the super-deluxe. but i'm sure they'll only press them for a short time. i can't imagine this will be in print for too long.

i can't even imagine what they'd do for no code. that was a deluxe set in and of itself.

i wonder if i should unload my vinyls now...
