A three-CD Pearl Jam set has fallen into our laps and regrettably it’s got to go. Don’t be sad because it’s going to one of you lucky Pearl Jam fans. On March 29th the band will release newly restored and expanded editions of their classic albums VS. and Vitalogy both packed with legendary American rock music, must haves for your collection.
What we have for you is the three-CD VS. set. It includes the original album plus bonus tracks and a five-inch gatefold jacket with 16 pages saddle stitched and one pocket on the right. Talk about performance and presentation all in one.
Is your adrenaline rushing yet? Hope so because now you have to channel that energy into winning the Pearl Jam challenge. VS. sold 950,000 copies in its first week of release and now we want to see which one of you can tell us why this album was such a success. No, this isn’t a trick question; feel free to give us anything from statistics to your personal take on the album.
Post your submission in the comments section of this article and e-mail your submission to shockyapr@gmail.com. Think long and hard because you’ve got until March 29th to submit your entries, in honor of the album’s release date.
