| 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.
