Pearl Jam announce a 30th anniversary reissue of their album Vs

Pearl Jam are commemorating the 30^th anniversary of their seminal sophomore full-length offering, 'Vs.', with a series of special releases.

Vs. will be available in new Vinyl and Cassette editions on November 17.

Pearl Jam’s own Ten Club (their fan organisation) will be able to access an exclusive 2LP Dreamsicle (translucent orange with white swirls) colour variant vinyl and clear cassette.  A new black 2LP vinyl will also be available. Album and cassette preorders are available HERE.

Additionally, Pearl Jam and Legacy Recordings will unveil a brand new Atmos Spatial Audio Mix of the album tomorrow October 20^th.  The new mix will be available on Apple music alongside new visualiser videos for each track on the album.

Vs. was a watershed album for Pearl Jam for many reasons, one of which being that band did not make any music video to accompany any of the album's six singles. Despite this, Vs. occupied the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 chart for five weeks, the longest duration for a Pearl Jam album. Vs. has been certified 7× platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America for sales of at least seven million copies.

Vs. is known for being the raw and powerful sophomore album after the band's commercially successful debut Ten.  Vs. stared down heavy themes such as abuse, neurodivergent learning disorders, America’s gun obsession, police brutality, suicide but still managed to let light peek through the cracks with some of the group’s most treasured anthems ever.

The preorder for the special edition release of Vs. is available here.
