    Did they actually come in the same (cardboard) cases? Not jewel-boxes? I always figured BMG etc sold everything in a plastic case and always wondered what they did for PJ albums... like Riot Act is the same type of case/booklet/etc and just has BMG on the back?

    For No Code & Vitalogy, they came in cardboard cases. Not sure about Yield and their releases after that.

    Cardboard boxes like the regular releases.

    Yeah all cardboard cases - basically bmg either printed the back inlay with their code on or popped a sticker on the digipaks

    i'm 99% sure my vitalogy and no code are from bmg, but it doesn't say anything of the sort on the back of the album :?

    now that is interesting? No mention anywhere of bmg on the no code? Stickers?

    viewtopic.php?f=4&t=121504

    No Code came in different colors.

    Good work D, but in that other thread you mention light purple - in the links the bmg one looks blue and the shop bought white - can you clear up if there is a purple blue and white to your knowledge

    the made at smc is just referencing that it was made by Sony music Canada

    Oh and I use the term sticker above very misleadingly

    the bmg direct info on the digipaks in the little window are not stickers but specially printed digipacks with that info on them - should have been more clear

    also noticed that from what I have so far ( ten binural yield ) only ten has the bmg direct special cat number actually on the disc. The others just have the normal USA pressing but with the bmg direct digipack

    Oh not just ten I found out vs had the disc printed specially too with the cat number

    Checking vitalogy now but it seems after this they stopped the discs and just had the packaging made

    BMG Direct even released a couple of the 2000 official bootlegs. I happen to have Jones Beach #41.

    I have the BMG Direct version of Live On Two Legs, although the digipak shows some wear and the CD has some light surface scratches.

    My No Code disc does not match either of these scans. I believe it is a U.S. version, but I don't know if it is a record club issue. The center hub is clear, so it is missing the "YES" and "NO" printed in red.

    It's a fair question

    I'm a collector so the catalogue variances however small are important. Bmg made their own covers with the only difference being that it states just that with their catalogue number

    Cool, thanks :)

    Unfortunately, none of the online Pearl Jam collector discography websites contain disc matrix information that will allow me to pinpoint its origin. Everything points to it being a U.S. version. The catalog number is EK 67500 which I know is shared with issues of other countries. However, the following information is "printed" inside the outer-most black circle (like the Canadian version with different text, but unlike standard U.S. versions where text is outside of this circle):

    EK 67500 · © 1996 SONY MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT INC./(P) 1996 SONY MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT, INC./”EPIC” REG. U.S. PAT. & TM. OFF. MARCA REGISTRADA. [EPIC logo]

    Now I am very curious about my No Code disc.

    On pjcollectors.com, the scan of the U.S.A. disc has EK 67500 · © 1996 SONY MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT INC./(P) 1996 SONY MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT, INC./”EPIC” REG. U.S. PAT. & TM. OFF. MARCA REGISTRADA. [EPIC logo] outside of the outer-most black circle while on my disc this information is on the inside. Also, the scan on pjcollectors.com shows some additional text to the right of the [EPIC logo] which my disc does not have.
