There is.

In unrelated news, there's a sub-reddit called 'PearlJamBootlegs'.

It's not much better.

This thing just sounds bad.

Matt's hi-hat on "Of the Earth" sounds like someone letting air out of a tire.

It's less 'transistor radio' than the other version but still far from great. I thought the hi-hats at the start of Pendulum sounded like my barbeque ignition failing.

This whole project really is the height of vinyl fetishism without the quality control to back it up.

Oh well, I still always like hearing the band's live sound mixed differently to the official boots, a la Live at East Street, TV performances, etc.

Sounds like a bootleg using a couple of room mics. Matt's snare is everywhere.

Same. I'm not overly critical of mixing/production/etc. in general, so this change of pace was nice for me. The performance was a nightmare, though.

Glad I didn't spend the money on this... But I am disappointed to hear OTE wasn't better. They need to find a way to capture that song

I thought it was okay - slower and more focused than usual. I still think the lyrics sound too place-holder for my liking.

the package has been sitting on my table for about a week, unopened. i almost forgot about it..

sounds like it was a miss?

Is the same shitty 128 mp3 floating around? Is that what people are listening on?

I should go to the PO today

I've heard a few FLAC rips, they all sound like different kinds of garbage.

You dont think clearly when jack white is involved.

the version I heard seriously sounded like a room mic recording, far from the great quality of the easy street ep. its a low quality MP3 though so I'll reserve full judgment till I hear the vinyl.

Aren't those Jack White things recorded to mono with one room mic? Or am I thinking of something else?

This was waiting for me when I got home. After one spin - I'm pretty happy with it. Great little package

What? You bought a Pearl Jam product and liked it? Get the fuck off our message board!

Of the earth sounded like 90s Pearl Jam to me.

Bring back wailing Ed!!!!
