    I had 3 of these about 12 years ago... had to sell them to help my idiot brother stay in college since he didnt file his paperwork.

    Every time I see one for sale it KILLS me... it was my favorite thing that I had, but it also got the most $$ at the time so I had to do it.

    I bet some people on here have the ones I used to have...

    GRRRRRRR

    from two feet thick:
    So what do the words “Reeenk Roink” actually mean? Aside from these cds, “Reeenk Roink” is mentioned in the liner notes inside the “Alive” / “Wash” / “I Got A Feeling” promotional single written by Jeff Ament. In describing the transition from the band’s initial name “Mookie Blaylock” to “Pearl Jam”, Jeff writes:


    “Once again, the Stone & Jeff Faction opt out 2 do a new thang.
    MOOKIE BLAYLOCK … REEENK ROINK …
    PEARL JAM.
    3 new guys. The Kick Ass Faction.”

    Because of the “Alive” single’s liner notes, fans have long guessed that “Reeenk Roink” was a potential band name, but now we can say for sure that that’s not true. PJ fan Scott Logsden let us know that he recently lucked out and got his Reeenk Roink signed by Jeff Ament. Scott’s sleeve already contained the standard “Pearl Jam — TEN — REEENK ROINK” writing, but in addition to an autograph, Jeff added an asterisk next to “Reeenk Roink” and wrote “it’s ok to mess up.” When asked, Ament explained that back when PJ were recording Ten, when someone messed up, everyone else in the band would look at the person and make a funny face and say “reeenk roink!” It’s hard to explain in print, but what Jeff means is that “reeenk roink” is a sound spelled out, an onomatopoeia: like the sound on a game show when someone gets something wrong, or the two-tone error noise your computer might make. When they got the test discs from the record company, which lacked the name of their album and didn’t even have the band’s name printed on them, Jeff and Ed decided to write that phrase on there for when they gave them to people.

    That is so cool. Unfortunately I will never own one because of the ridiculous price. I can't justify that kind of money for a single CD that I already have as Ten. I have heard there is no difference in the music between a Reeenk Roink and Ten

    Top price to date was 2850 almost 2 years ago. That one was very cool though, came with a letter from Sony music handwriten explaining it

    last year the other variant - no sleeve - disc written on instead, sold for 1700. So this is high already!! Reserve will be at least 2k - i understand why - he probably doesn't wish to sell it for less

    as Nathan pointed out that's a fine example of the vedder autograph from the early days. Looks 100% spot on

    love it

    Im not an obsessive collector myself. I have a pretty decent back catalogue but certainly dont (well cant more like it) spend silly money on items. But if this item is going to go for minimum of $2000 is this really worth $1200 - orange The Fixer 7"? Opinions please:
