I was just thinking the same thing, but wasn't gonna type it all out because listening to this album right now reminds me so clearly of the day and weeks and months that followed this albums release. i remember everything i was doing, who i was doing it with, and where we were doing it. The smells and sights of that time....as with all future Pearl Jam releases are marked like a timeline of my life.
Woah, that was a little deep. But I think you get my drift.
Yes i do. *sigh*

I remember buying it in between classes and sitting in my car in the parking garage getting blazed listening to it
I always thought that since it was released in October of '93 that they decided to go with Halloween/Fall colors for the CD.
I actually sort of agree with this. The album always reminded me of that cooler wintery time of year. All of the imagery was surrounding a warm fire or bundled up. Event the sheep looks cold.
i used to have a orange one as well but Daughter was scratched to hell so i threw it out. The silver one is my wife's who bought it when it came out she tells me?
oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.
My rhymes and records they don't get played
Because my records and rhymes they don't get made
And if you rap like me you don't get paid
And if you roll like me you don't get laid.
And the wording is black! And Ed asked us to say goodbye to the Spectrum for him in camden this summer. Clearly, the boys are on our side. Less than a month 'til training camp. Let's go Flyers!
Don't know why i thought of this today? But, you know the PJ cd's usually match the artwork of the packaging, except Vs. It is just plain orange. Any ideas?
because of Halloween, since it was released in October.
I remember the day this cd came out! I set my alarm to be there right when the store opened. It's funny how PJ related stuff sticks in my brain but something my husband said 5 minutes ago, i can't remember
That's awesome!!

orange is usually the color of a shooting target. maybe thats why. thats how they felt with the media spotlight and being one of the most famous, popular,band on the planet. they felt like a target and that was a discreet way of saying it. any thoughts? {maybe a bit of a stretch but hey, sounds good to me}

i like that better than what i came up with. makes sense.
Eddie was surfing one day and as he was paddling out he looked up and saw the big hard sun, he wanted something to remind him of that moment, hence the orange cd.
ouch

Exactly. At least it was a unique CD label and not one of those hideous red labels that were used on all of the Columbia Records CD releases around that same timeframe.

Or [size=+5] purple [/size]
[size=+5] Welcome....... [/size]
Now u have to go back and read all the posts since '96
then no title
then VS.
5 corresponds to an orange ball in the game of pool.
hence the orange cd.
The backdrop at this time was super media hype / frenzy for pj after Ten.
So, 5 (band members) vs. 1 (the world?)
Or it could just be because it looked nice. :P
