Pearl Jam – Vs Epic Associated – Z 53136 Released:1993   NOT A REISSUE! FACTORY SEALED! RETAINS THE ORIGINAL  "PEARL JAM" STICKER! SHRINKWRAP HAS A SMALL PORTION MISSING ABOVE THE STICKER WHERE A PRICE TAG WAS REMOVED. COVER APPEARS TO BE SLIGHTLY FADED.   Tracklist? A1 Go A2 Animal A3 Daughter A4 Glorified G A5 Dissident A6 W.M.A. B1 Blood B2 Rearviewmirror B3 Rats B4 Elderly Woman Behind The Counter In A Small Town B5 Leash B6 Indifference   Pearl Jam took to superstardom like deer in headlights. Unsure of how to maintain their rigorous standards of integrity in the face of massive commercial success, the band took refuge in willful obscurity -- the title of their second album, Vs., did not appear anywhere in the packaging, and they refused to release any singles or videos. (Ironically, many fans then paid steep prices for import CD singles, a situation the band eventually rectified.) The eccentricities underline Pearl Jam's almost paranoid aversion to charges of hypocrisy or egotism -- but it also made sense to use the spotlight for progress. You could see that reasoning in their ensuing battle with Ticketmaster, and you could hear it in the record itself. Vs. is often Eddie Vedder at his most strident, both lyrically and vocally. It's less oblique than Ten in its topicality, and sometimes downright dogmatic; having the world's ear renders Vedder unable to resist a few simplistic potshots at favorite white-liberal targets. Yet a little self-righteousness is an acceptable price to pay for the passionate immediacy that permeates Vs. It's a much rawer, looser record than Ten, feeling like a live performance; Vedder practically screams himself hoarse on a few songs. The band consciously strives for spontaneity, admirably pushing itself into new territory -- some numbers are decidedly punky, and there are also a couple of acoustic-driven ballads, which are well suited to Vedder's sonorous low register. Sometimes, that spontaneity comes at the expense of Ten's marvelous craft -- a few songs here are just plain underdeveloped, with supporting frameworks that don't feel very sturdy. But, of everything that does work, the rockers are often frightening in their intensity, and the more reflective songs are mesmerizing. Vs. may not reach the majestic heights of Ten, but at least half the record stands with Pearl Jam's best work.

RECORD GRADING POLICY

MINT = like new or near new with only one or two small insignificant defects, a 9 or better on a 1-10 scale

EXCELLENT = Would be Near Mint, except for a couple of light hairlines or scuffs, which do not affect play

VG++ = still a very nice record with all or nearly all of its original gloss but may have a few more light, surface marks, hairlines, needle tracks or the like which should not materially affect play

VG+ = a nice, but used record that may have a series of light scuffs or scratches. It probably plays with a few pops, but has no serious problems.

VG = a well-used record that still should sound OK when played, but may have moderate surface noise, pops, etc.

VG- = a very well-worn record that plays through without skipping, but will do until a better copy comes along.

Good = not actually good at all but probably will play through but with much in the way of surface noise, pops, crackles, etc. Still, will have no cracks, chips or the like

Fair = you are getting this record just to own but not to play

Poor = the sky's the limit, generally I will discard a record this bad (and sell the cover, jacket or sleeve alone) unless the label holds some particular interest

Shipping :

IN YOUR EAR SHIPS ITEMS 5 DAYS A WEEK. IN MOST CASES, WE SHIP ITEMS WITHIN 3 DAYS OF PAYMENT. YOUR ITEM'S ARRIVAL DATE WILL VARY DEPENDING UPON YOUR CHOSEN SHIPPING METHOD AND YOUR LOCATION. DUE TO SLOW SHIPPING RATES OUTSIDE THE U.S., OVERSEAS CUSTOMERS MUST AGREE TO WAIT UP TO 60 DAYS BEFORE FILING A CLAIM. ALL PACKAGES BEING SENT TO ITALY MUST BE SENT BY REGISTERED MAIL AT A COST OF $11.50. BECAUSE OF INCREASED PROBLEMS WITH ITEMS NOT REACHING THEIR DESTINATION, WE WILL NOT SHIP TO ITALY. DUE TO OVERSEAS POSTAGE SLOWDOWNS, ALL FOREIGN CUSTOMERS MUST AGREE TO WAIT 2 MONTHS BEFORE FILING A LOST PACKAGE CLAIM. Shipping and handling fees are non-refundable. PLEASE NOTE: We have set our shipping prices to cover costs on an average basis. You may be charged slightly more - or less - than the actual cost of postage; Priority postage varies according to destination, records and jackets vary in weight, all of which makes it impossible to set an exact "correct" price for all customers, especially internationally. We ship all LP's in new (unused) custom LP mailers. We pack records with filler pads, placing the disc in an inner sleeve outside the cover to prevent seam splitting in transit. Part of our postage fee covers the cost of the mailer and pads (which currently costs us up to a dollar per). BY BIDDING ON AN ITEM, YOU ARE AGREEING TO IN YOUR EAR'S POLICIES. YES, we ship to Japan!



Payment :

In Your Ear accepts Paypal as its payment option. We will only ship parcels to the buyer's registered PayPal address. Winning bidders will be notified within 3 days of the end of the auction and are expected to remit payment within 7 days.
