- DVD of previously unreleased 1992 Pearl Jam MTV Unplugged performance with 5.1 surround sound audio remix
- LP of the band’s 1992 "Drop in the Park" concert

Ten, the debut album that sold 12 million copies and introduced the world to Pearl Jam in 1991, will be reissued in four (4) new and expanded editions. You can pre-orders all four editions through the Ten Club at PearlJam.com. All four editions will be released on March 24, 2009. 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.
Each Ten package will include 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). Details on specific extras for each of the four packages are listed below.
"The band loved the original mix of Ten, but were also interested in what it would sound like if I were to deconstruct and remix it," says producer Brendan O’Brien. "The original Ten sound is what millions of people bought, dug and loved, so I was initially hesitant to mess around with that. After years of persistent nudging from the band, I was able to wrap my head around the idea of offering it as a companion piece to the original – giving a fresh take on it, a more direct sound."TEN RE-DESIGN
Pearl Jam bassist Jeff Ament, who served as the art director for the original Ten packaging, reprised his role for the reissues collaborating with designer, Andy Fischer, of Cameron Crowe’s Vinyl Films (Into the Wild soundtrack LP, Vanilla Sky soundtrack LP, Harold and Maude anniversary edition soundtrack LP).
"The goal was to assemble the ultimate fan-piece," explains Fischer. "Something Pearl Jam lovers could pore over as they experience an indelible record all over again, in an entirely new way."
"The original concept was about really being together as a group and entering into the world of music as a true band...a sort of all-for-one deal," says Jeff Ament. "There were some elements of the original Ten artwork that didn't turn out the way we had hoped, due to time constraints. With this reissue, we’ve been able to take our time and invest resources into making the design the way we had originally intended."
REPLICA OF PEARL JAM 3-SONG DEMO CASSETTE IN SUPER DELUXE EDITION
In the process of digging through his archives for this project, Ament came across an old cassette marked "Momma-Son" – the fabled original Pearl Jam demo tape featuring the first recorded versions of "Alive," "Once" and "Footsteps." Ament and guitarists Stone Gossard and Mike McCready had recorded instrumental tracks of these songs to help solicit a singer for their newly formed band. Mutual friend - and then Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer - Jack Irons suggested they send the tape down to San Diego surfer and little-known singer Eddie Vedder.
Completely inspired by what he heard from these musicians that he then only knew by name, Vedder quickly wrote lyrics, put these vocals to the music tracks and shipped the tape back to Seattle. Upon hearing how Vedder had transformed the songs, Ament, Gossard and McCready asked him to come up to Seattle so they could meet and have an official "tryout" together. Shortly thereafter, Pearl Jam was born. (A replica of the "Momma-Son" cassette will be included in the Super Deluxe Edition of Ten.)
Jeff Ament describes the experience of re-visiting that tape with singer Eddie Vedder:
"I think the first time that Ed or I had opened any of those boxes was a few weeks ago. I knew that the original ‘Momma-Son’ cassette was somewhere, but I hadn’t listened to it in 17, 18, 19 years. It was cool to sit down and play it for the first time with Ed and see his reaction. And to find that 90% of it stayed exactly the same as what ended up on the record. A lot of elements were identical. There was some energy flying around at that point even from 1,300 miles away from Seattle to San Diego."

YES!!!!!!
Holy crap, this is fantastic!
This shall be mine!
Picked a bad time to quit my job! My god I'm stoked. How long will these be available? Total produced from preorders? Or will there be extras for us broke a$$ mofo's?
Fuckin pissah!
$140 is a lot. And we're in a damn recession! By the way, is the message board under construction or what?
I love how suddenly it's 10/12/08, too.
Ordered - can't believe I just ordered that. So stoked. But so didn't want to spend the $$$ - can we expect 6 more super deluxe sets?! that's a cool $840! My lord I am in trouble
QUOTE/is it a limited edition run of the super deluxe edition or will this be still available in 2,3 or 4 weeks??/QUOTE
If it's limited edition, I'm definitely getting it. I'm not gonna pass on this and regret it like I did with In Rainbows.
This is GREAT!!!
I never heard “2,000 Mile Blues” I think..wow!
This is the ultimate package!!
Hearing the new different mixes will be great!
I always prefered the TEN "rough mixes" to the album mix, so I am really looking forward to hear this. Really GREAT.
I can't wait to get it, open a bottle of wine, and start spinning the vinyls and cds and going through all the extra cool stuff.
Too bad this comes in the most expensive month of the year to pre-order...
How big is the run of the SUper Deluxe?
Oh I love it....oh my I love it....
I just pre-ordered!!!
I have a question though....
While it's outstanding to see this classic album reissued like this... what about the tracks "Wash" and "Dirty Frank"??? Shouldn't those be included in the package too?
wow, that's some news!!
I'm wait until March.
I wonder how many pre-orders will be signed by the band.
am i in heaven?
This is FREAKIN' awesome!!! I've already pre-ordered mine!! Unplugged DVD! best...news...ever!!!
Thank you baby jesus.
I was at first thinking oh no they are doing the whole remastered thing but then I looked at the detail of this package and had to do it. Pulled the trigger with no guilt.
So will there not be a CD version of the remixed album?
Thanks for this, I love the Unplugged DVD. Here's to hoping for a signed something, that would just be a huge bonus.
Just ordered...YAY
Thank you very nice
AM I DREAMING???
I will be ordering this early next week!
This is something that is gonna put a smile on a lotta peoples faces!
This is why this band and the ten club are the greatest! All for one indeed!
$140!!!!!!
Worth every single penny!!!!!!
I got it!
can't wait to march now.......why???
The only comments i have to the 10C is about to get a fixed price for the next release...but please keep the goof stuff coming out..more vinyls and more DVDs!!!!!
Hope everybody can pick one whatever the version they need! time to support the band with this extremely big package in hard times.
Please God bring me the Box signed by the band.
this looks sweet! but when it arrives i'll have to buy an olde tyme walkman in order to listen to the cassette ... they still make those, right?
Love the New Site!!!
Can't wait for the re-release!! Do we really have to wait till March!?!?!
Damn!!! I don't have a cassette player anymore:)
Honestly, we should all be proud and grateful that OUR band is still around after almost 20 years... Very few bands are... This is just a bonus, but a great one!
I'm in Argentina, it's almost 1 in the morning. Just got two boxes for me and a friend.
I'm still shaking.
OMFG christmas just came early for me!
I got it... I am counting the days already!!
Ordered my copy!! Can't wait till March...Well worth the $140! Also, can't wait for the re-release of the other records!! I hope I am lucky enough to get one that was autographed...
How long do we have to order the Super Duper deluxe package?
Ordered it . . Super Deluxe! Loving it!
you can do it...................
Why does this presale occur right before Christmas??? Of Course I got it, but it doesn't help me buying more shit for myself 2 weeks before Santa comes...So much for those Remote Control Cars for my kids...
I hope this comment section isn't meant to take the place of the board. Is it coming back? Most of these comments look fake to me anyway. I didn't recognize any names except demetrios...
this just made... my life!
thank you, thank you, thank you pearl jam, once again, giving us more than we could ever ask for and ask nothing in return. i fucking love this band!!!
OMG - I'm having a mini freak-out here... !!!!
I bought it, but I'd also like to have the drop in the park recording on CD and not just vinyl.
The 20th Anniversary is in 2010 NOT 2011 !!!!!!
Might want to correct that guys :)
OK I need a $137 loan!!! I'm not a complete loser, I have 3 bucks!!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS to me...!!! Thanks Pearl Jam!
God dam!!!!
I have been wating for this...
MTV unplugged on DVD, vinyl etc .....
Got me a delux on order...
FCK YEAH BROTHERS AND SISTERS!!
Ouch, this one is gonna hurt the pocketbook...
I pulled the trigger with some guilt...but, went ahead and did it anyway : )
[color=#000000][b]Completely unbelievable... This is certainly the most unbelievable surprise I have had in a while. New website design, new Ten album re-release with all these extras, including their MTV Unplugged - I finally can watch it without those damn timestamps ;) It's like Christmas in, well, December ;) However, it doesn't ship until March, so those complaining about the cost - it won't hit the credit card until then. So worry no more about not getting the kids those remote control cars they want because you were selfish and wanted the Super Deluxe Edition ;)[/b][/color]
[color=#000000][b]Thank you PJ & 10C!!! You continue to rock our worlds with exciting music and innovative ways to bring us closer to your world!!![/b][/color]
Great site and great news; thank you!!
Here I go further into debt......
I am FREAKING OUT right now!!! Am DEFINITLEY gonna be getting this!!! WOW!! I'm in Heaven!!! YAY!!! Sooooo Excited!!!
Awesome new site, just purchased the super deluxe edition! Does anyone know if this is how the messege board or "pit is going to be now? I can't find the messege pit.
Its a great day to be a PJ Fan.March 24 is not going to be here soon enough!!
mtv unplugged on dvd - whoooooooohooooooooooooooo
christmas tip:
dont eat yellow snow :)
great news, i hope my super deluxe set will be signed by eddie!!!
A lot of money ($190 to ship it here in Italy) but I guess I would have paid even more :-) It'll be part of the "treasure" I'll pass on to my child... Chiara
Just ordered it for my brother, who took me to see Eddie Vedder in Toronto for my birthday!!
This is just insane!! I can't believe they are putting all these amazing items out! And just to think that i'll be able to see the Unplugged show on DVD rather than my 16 year old VHS tape AND listen to the original Momma-Son songs... wow I get shivers!
Thank you for such an amazing package!
Man my wife already got my Xmas gift so this will be my Valentines I guess :)
Merry Xmas everyone!
What a package! Way expensive, especially for a non-US person but too hard to resist - just ordered. 10C, is there any way to reduce the shipping fees for future reissues, please....!!!
this is the message board! can i borrow $140?
super sweet... we couldnt ask for much more. thanks yall!
Shit! I'm gonna be in trouble!Fuck it just ordered it anyway (who needs rent or food money?). Looks like the next couple of years is gonna cost a bit, but im sure it'll be worth it. Hurry up and get to the UK fuckers we luv ya!
What a wonderful day in Tenclub land! I just ordered it!! OMG
Arrrggghh! Waited years for this!
Where can we buy/pre-order the deluxe edition with "just" the 2 CD's and the Unplugged DVD?
As much as I would like the Super Duper Deluxe Fancy Edition, I just can't afford spending 190$ on cassettes and Vinyl that I can't listen to.
fuck me i just saw this on the pitchfork site and came here (nearly quite literally)straight away! after a stessfull semester of Universtiy over as of y'day I needed somthing to make me happy....so after missing out The SPECIALS reunion tix for UK tour (I'll get one!!) this has mede my fuckin day!!
on order and counting the days. what a present! :o) thanks PJ
Awesome new site guys!
Got mine. Like many others this made my day. Any idea on whether the unplugged DVD will have Enveflow and RitFW on it also? I can't wait to hear the remixed versions of those songs. I feel like a college freshman again.
I can´t wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GOD HELP ME !!!!! I BAY IT IN THE NAME OF LOVE!!!
I GO TO MY WIFE AND ASK FOR MOR MONY!!!!
OK so who now has to buy a cassette player to listen to the tape? :)
Woo Woo!!! That's it and that's all!
Bought!! How could I hesitate. Let's just hope it makes it to Oz in better condition then the last LP's I bought!!!.
2009 Plan: Win the lottery and pay for private concert of Pearl Jam in Australia. How cool.
Exchange Rate: Why couldn't they have released this when the Aussie dollar was stronger. Now it costs an extra 40% to buy.....bugger. Ends up costing $260 Australian...... Thank god I am a fan.
Tour Down Under in 2009!
I really need my message board fix!!! Soon!!!
Momma son revisited. Let's get a new album out now
hypocritical at best, this is why Kurt Cobain hated Pearl Jam .... but I guess I'm even more of a hypocrite because I bought it, lol
Damn!!!
I need money =( (lot of money)
PJ!!!! Mexico miss u!!!!! =(
:-)
i hate having to wait for shipping to europe....
GOT IT!!!
:-)
Kurt Cobain was the ultimate indie hipster fuck, a decade and a half before it was cool to be an indie hipster fuck.
Don't get me wrong, I love Kurt's music, but the guy took himself WAY too seriously.
Can't wait to hear the new mixes. - Excited!
i'm already lovin' it
FYI...they are charging your credit card immediately, not in March when they ship it.
This is the best thing ever...but does this mean that PJ was working with Brendan O'Brien to remix Ten, and not a new album?!?!?!
Looks like it's an early Christmas present for myself here
best band in the world. Please come to Utah PJ!!!
I heard TEN (whole album) is coming to Rock Band in March too...that should be dope.
Awesome news! Ten rocks!
Hope to see the guys in the UK again soon - missed out on the Ten Club tickets for their last trip over and was devastated - fingers crossed they'll be here again soon!
The greatest PJ release ever for fans. Simply incredible. Momma-son tape! You guys are the best and I consider myself lucky to have had you around during my lifetime!
Thank you!
It is coming to RockBand in March -> http://www.rockband.com/forums/showthread.php?t=106563
i think this is awesome but i was hoping to read that Jeff would be layin down the bass lines again, this time not on a fretless, to give the album a real boost!
I can't wait till it gets here! Thanks, guys!
This will be the perfect x-mas gift to myself,do you ever feel like you will be one of the lucky ones,I can't wait to admire my autographs. Thanks to P.J, and fanclub.
E.J
Hi! I have a question. I come from SPAIN. Does anybody know if the DVD is also valid for EUROPE region?? because I have seen it is a NTSC region 0.
Thank you very much for your help! PJ rocks!!
Inigo
Super Deluxe Edition I'm coming!!!!!
I just bought Ten on vinyl at eBay! What fucking timing! I take this as they'll release all previous albums on vinyl again. Oh sweet lord.
This new format is awesome. Too many great new things to buy. Hope you keep them around long enough. Super Deluxe thank you so much!!!! Whoever is steering this ship you are my LBC!!!!!
Finally I have an excuse to use my old tape deck that hasn't been used in a good ten years! 2008 TEN SUPER DELUXE EDITION here I come!!!
THEY ARE FINALLY RELEASING MTV UNPLUGGED???!!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! I CAN'T DESCRIBE HOW RIDICULOUSLY HAPPY THIS HAS MADE ME!!
CHRISTMAS AND MY BIRTHDAY HAVE COME EARLY!
SUPER DELUXE FOR ME ALL THE WAY!
PEARL JAM - THANK YOU!!
awesome idea. a lot of cash, but worth it for what we are getting.
To bad I don't have a tape player anymore for momma-son...
All you European fans: I was wondering what the retail price will be when the Super Deluxe Edition hits the record stores? I calculated that i have to pay 139 euros (including shipping) if i pre-order it now. Then there's the risk that it gets stuck in the customs here in Finland and then i have to pay about 31 euros (22%) more in tax. That makes the total price as much as 170 euros (for you US fans: 233 US $! That's 93 dollars more than you get it for, you lucky bastards!!!!
Any speculations on the retail price both in the US and Europe. We international fans need some information. These high shipping prices are a real downside, especially when there's going to be more of these sets.
Is there any other difference between the pre-order set and the record store set, other than the chance to get the autographed set? Of course it would be sweet to get the autographed set but the price is a bit high!
I'll buy it in the end anyway, just don't know from where.
I will now be sitting by the mail box until this arrives!
Region 0, means region-free, so it will be playable in all dvd players worldwide, no matter what region code. (also in Spain). I believe NTSC is playable practically on every TV nowadays, I don't know if your TV is 20 years old, but at least my 6 year old TV plays NTSC in addition to PAL that we use in Europe.
Holy Sheep Shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I need this!! 2009 is gonna be a great for ALL of us!...
NICE!
