Pearl Jam Reissue Ten

Pearl Jam began recording their Ten debut album 18 years ago this coming March, which might explain why the band are reissuing the disc on March 24.

The reissue will come in CD, double-vinyl, legacy and super-deluxe formats. Fans can pre-order the super-deluxe version from Pearl Jam's website.

The set will come with the original album, a new mix by producer Brendan O'Brien (Rage Against The Machine, Korn) and new artwork by bassist Jeff Ament and designer Andy Fischer. Six previously unreleased tracks will also be included on the disc that includes O'Brien's mixes.

"The original 'Ten' sound is what millions of people bought, dug and loved, so I was initially hesitant to mess around with that," O'Brien told Billboard.com. "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 was originally produced by the band and Rick Parashar (Alice In Chains, Nickelback).

The legacy version will include Pearl Jam's previously unreleased MTV Unplugged. The super-deluxe edition will come with both CDs, the DVD and four vinyl LPs in a linen-covered clam shell box. It will also come with a cassette that will act as a replica of the demos of "Alive," "Once" and "Footsteps," on which singer Eddie Vedder overdubbed his vocals before he joined the band.

Two of the super-deluxe edition's vinyl LPs will include an unreleased Pearl Jam concert that was recorded on Sept. 20, 1992 at Seattle's Magnuson Park and a replica of Vedder's notebook.

Ten was originally released on Aug. 27, 1991 through Epic Records. It turned Pearl Jam into stars and household names, and contains the hits "Jeremy," "Alive," "Oceans," "Black" and "Even Flow." It's considered by some to be one of the greatest albums ever recorded, and helped usher the grunge era into the mainstream. It outsold Nirvana's Nevermind and, to date, Ten has moved 9.4 million copies in the U.S. alone.
