| | Pearl Jam released Ten on August 27, 1991. The album reached #2 on the Billboard 200 chart, sold over 12 million copies and became one of the cultural touchstones of the 1990s. Songs such as "Alive," "Black," "Even Flow" and "Jeremy" became staples of rock radio, and still make frequent appearances on the band's ever-changing concert setlists. The album was produced by Rick Parasher. Pearl Jam's 1991 lineup was Jeff Ament (bass), Stone Gossard (guitar), Dave Krusen (drums), Mike McCready (guitar) and Eddie Vedder (vocals). This Collector's Edition box set of Ten is packaged in a 12" x 12" linen-covered, slip-cased clamshell box, and includes 2 CDs, 1 DVD, 4 vinyl LPs, 1 cassette and bonus memorabilia. CD 1 features the original Ten tracklisting digitally remastered in its original mix. CD 2 features the original Ten tracklisting digitally remastered and remixed by Brendan O'Brien, plus six bonus tracks: "Brother," "Just a Girl," "State of Love and Trust," "Breath and a Scream," "2,000 Mile Blues" and "Evil Little Goat." The DVD features Pearl Jam's previously unreleased 1992 MTV Unplugged performance, including a never before seen bonus performance of "Oceans" with 5.1 surround sound audio remix. LP 1 features the original Ten tracklisting remastered for vinyl. LP 2 features the original Ten tracklisting remastered for vinyl and remixed by Brendan O'Brien. LPs 3 and 4 include the complete performance of Drop in the Park - Live at Magnuson Park in Seattle on September 20, 1992 (audio mixed by Brendan O'Brien), featuring "Even Flow," "Once," "State of Love and Trust," "Why Go," "Deep," "Jeremy," "Black," "Alive," "Garden" and "Porch." The cassette features a replica of the original "Momma-Son" Pearl Jam demo cassette featuring "Alive," "Once" and "Footsteps." 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.

Notes & Personnel Info |  | Pearl Jam: Eddie Vedder (vocals); Mike McCreedy, Stone Gossard (guitar); Jeff Ament (bass); Dave Krusen (drums). | | Additional personnel: Walter Gray (cello); Rick Parashar (piano, organ, percussion). | | Engineers: Dave Hills, Don Gilmore, Adrian Moore. | | Recorded at London Bridge Studios, Seattle, Washington from March to April, 1991. | | Audio Mixer: Brendan O'Brien. | | TEN, Pearl Jam's debut album, was released less than a month before Nirvana's NEVERMIND, and although it took longer to climb the pop charts it also hung around longer, eventually outselling its Seattle rival. Together, the two albums reinvigorated rock & roll, whose share of the pop marketplace had been slipping through the late 1980s. But while Nirvana's bruising punk rock was an all-out assault on the classic-rock dinosaur, Pearl Jam's accomplished hard rock was an attack from within the system. | | The drawn-out, bluesy guitar riffing and anthemic choruses that dominated TEN instantly gave away roots in the same popular hard rock and heavy metal that Nirvana was intent on crushing. Indeed, before forming Pearl Jam, guitarist Stone Gossard and bassist Jeff Ament (who between them wrote most of the music on TEN) were the core of two '70s-influenced metal bands, Green River and Mother Love Bone. But in place of the self-aggrandizing, larger-than-life singers that led most such bands, Gossard and Ament found Eddie Vedder, an explosive vocalist with a ravaged timbre more apt to identify with the abused and misunderstood children he was singing about (and to) than with any other rock stars. | | After producer Brendan O'Brien remastered a few TEN tracks for the later greatest-hits collection, REARVIEWMIRROR, the band pressed him for years to remaster the entire album. In 2009, the band re-released TEN with O'Brien's remaster, a rendering that strips away the early '90s reverb and lays bare the scabrous edges in both the twin guitars and Vedder's voice. Including many extra tracks and paraphernalia, the many different versions of the reissue placed the official stamp of "classic" on a record that always had the air of one. |

| | Bio | | | Pearl Jam Pearl Jam rose from the ashes of Mother Love Bone to become the most popular American rock & roll band of the '90s. After vocalist Andrew Wood overdosed on heroin in 1990, guitarist Stone Gossard and bassist Jeff Ament assembled a new band, bringing in Mike McCready on lead guitar and recording a demo with Soundgarden's Matt Cameron on drums. Thanks to future Pearl Jam drummer Jack Irons, the demo found its way to a 25-year-old San Diego surfer named Eddie Vedder, who overdubbed vocals and original lyrics and was subsequently invited to join the band (then christened Mookie Blaylock after the NBA player). Dave Krusen was hired as the full-time drummer shortly thereafter, completing the original lineup. Renaming themselves Pearl Jam, the band recorded their debut album, Ten, in the beginning of 1991, although it wasn't released until August; in the meantime, the majority of the band appeared on the Andrew Wood tribute project Temple of the Dog. Krusen left the band shortly after the release of Ten; he was replaced by Dave Abbruzzese.
