vs. Edition Remastered

This has become one of my favorite albums of all time. 10/10 nothing else needs to be said

Original version better or not? I don't care that much. I was not happy for these remasters when word came out. Wich is why I did not buy the overpriced fanclub box set (vs-vitalogy). However, I was very much excited about finaly getting to own these great records on vinyl. There will always be someone comparing this with the 93 version. If you are willing to pay 100 bucks for a new one, then go ahead. Otherwise, this is the best way to go. From my first listen to this vinyl reissue: the bass pounds on the speakers. at the same time I could hear the crystal clear crisp of the cymbals. I gave my amp an 80% volume level (wich is very loud) and I was pleased. No uncomfortable distortions whatsoever. I still have to compare it to my old cd version. Will post my thoughts later on. One thing I do agree. These albums did not need any remastering in the first place. They have always sounded amazing. I'm only happy for the vinyl reissues, wich of course are also remastered. They are relatively cheap. EDIT: I have compared this vinyl to my old cd version. This vinyl kicks ass! Don't think twice. I have a cheap audiotechnica turntable. I can only imagine how it would sound on a better one. My amp and speakers are decent, though. Now, if you are able to spend ten time as much for the original pressing, then be my guest. This is the best way to go otherwise.

Great album!

Excelente producto y el envío muy rápido.

I usually prefer the o.g. copies of an artist but in a lot more case these days the newly remastered versions of these classics have much more depth to them , after comparing many , I have found that the older original 1st press copies sound thin compared to the new remastered vinyl , Just my opinion of course!

Recently I re-vamped some of my vinyl equipment and these kinds of albums make me glad I did. The sound quality is excellent: crisp guitars, smooth thunderous bass, sharp drum hits....really, for listeners who grew up in the vinyl era as I did, CDs were never going to sound this good. And this album is on 180-gram vinyl too, audiophile quality. For Pearl Jam fans who want a real treat, check out the two vinyl set of "Ten," in which one of the two albums is the album remixed by the producer; the songs, by now all familiar, sound great. I always liked Pearl Jam's ability to invest every song with a kind of narrative drama, something not many bands can do (the Who come to mind). This album reminded me that when they were hot, they were one of the finest bands out there. They are still productive, too, but there is no denying the power of their youth that this album broadcasts to the world.

Got my copy delivered last week and was super excited as I love this album, but while listening I noticed the tempo was fluctuating. I also saw the needle and arm were swaying back and forth a bunch. I checked my turntable components, did some adjustments and cleaning with no change. I put on another album and it played perfectly. Finally figured out the center hole was not so centered and watching the edge of the album while turning, it was obvious the record wasn't centered properly. But with any manufacturing process there are always at least a few items that won't be perfect so I can forgive these things if the return/replace policy is good. Luckily the policy is good :). The replacement process was super easy via Amazon and my replacement copy of the album arrived just two days later and plays great. I knocked one star since there was an issue but overall I'm very happy with the purchase and how the issue was handled.

Probably my favorite Pearl Jam album, so good!!!

Excelente producto acorde a lo deseado

Conforme à mes attentes

Carefully delivered, no issues. Sounds great, lovely vinyl for the collection

Ich erinnere mich noch genau, wie ich 1993 zum Händler des Vertrauens ging und die neue Pearl Jam CD kaufte, ohne zuvor reinzuhören. Zu Hause dann der Schock: nach dem grandiosen Erstlingswerk waren meine Erwartungen gänzlich anders, als das, was Eddie und Konsorten nun eingespielt hatten. Irgendwie gut, doch so unerwartet anders, dass es lange dauerte, mich mit dieser Platte anzufreunden. Umso schöner, diese Erfahrung über 30 Jahre später wiederholen zu dürfen: diesmal auf Vinyl, überrascht der eigenartige, eigenwillige, auf jeden Fall eigenständige Sound weniger, als er sich selbst bestätigt und beweist, wie großartig dieses Werk ist. No Fillers, just Killers! Ruhige Stücke oder Passagen genau da, wo man sie benötigt. Ein Genuss!

Gran disco
