    I bought the CD the day it came out in 1993 and I got the jewel case. I have seen the cardboard tri-fold before but only on the secondary market. I still have it and it is mint.

    I still got my original with the cardboard case. Bought it the day it was released at The Wiz here in NJ.

    Umm....who DOESN'T have their original Vs. cd?

    Vs is the only PJ cd I have left I kept it because of having the original packaging

    I still have a couple of bootlegs, the ten super deluxe, and LOXL, but none of the albums on cd except VS

    When this came out I didn't have a CD player yet, so I bought the cassette of Five Against One.

    I don't recall the cardboard one being available here in Canada on release (allthough I did se a used copy once).

    Either way I think I'm on my 2nd Vs. CD. The original one I had got worn out (I don't think i was too careful with my cd's back in the day, it got so badly scratched that immortality would skip).

    now its a moot point, because the last time it got used was to rip it to FLAC. Now I just use my Cowon S9 player to listen to tunes (or spin the vinyl if i'm home).

    immortality was on your vs cd?

    was this only available in the phantom zone or something?

    I remember buying my copy of Vs. at the midnight record store sale down at U 0f I the night it came out The record stores used to have late night sales for all of the big releases so that people could buy the albums as soon as they were available.

    Still have it. Eco-Pak. Remember asking my mom to pick it up for me on the day it came out. I had a test in school and couldn't miss it. She got there early and was first in line at Strawberries in Brockton, MA. (now closed). She said that there was a line of people behind her waiting on the sidewalk. Employees came out and handed people a ticket to buy a cd because they only had so many. She said people were going nuts who did not get a ticket. All I can say is thank you mom for standing in line for me!

    Me too. I've still got the tri-fold pack that I bought when it came out and a silver disc jewel case version (without vs on the spine) that I had as a birthday present. My wife has still got her original orange disc one and we've both got our original vinyl lps too!

    I still have mine. I got it the first week but it is in a regular case. That CD is sitting with the rest of my PJ stuff proudly displayed in my living room. I have no idea how that CD still plays! I regard VS as the greatest album ever recorded. Oh and I picked up one of the cardboard ones a few weeks ago for $2.50 at the Exchange. My brother still has his original tri fold one as well.

    I still have my original, cardboard, tri-fold, no title, orange disc Vs cd.

    I remember going with a friend to the midnight release to get it at a place called Quansenhut. I lived in Cleveland (Berea) at the time & I think the record store was in Middleburg Hts. Not sure if it's there anymore. I bought my Vs LP the same night.

    We went to the same record store for the midnight release of Vitalogy & No Code also. Same as before, I bought the LPs along with the cds & I still do have those. I do remember they were handing out special Pearl Jam shirts to "celebrate" the midnight release. I missed getting the Vitalogy shirt by a few people but I got the one for No Code, and yes, I still have the t-shirt here somewhere.

    Anyone else here in the same line as me or get either of the shirts ?

    Oh, and as someone also said before, we had the cds playing before we left the parking lot. I still remember putting in the disc and listening to "Last Exit" for the first time on our way home. I remember being so excited at the time. Same goes for the night of Vs release, even though we had already heard "Go" & "Animal" before.
