    I have not only my original cd, buy also the vinyl.
    Won the vinyl on a radio contest.
    Friends and I went to Detroit for the midnight sale. Ahhhh, university days.

    I have the original eco-pak version, but I bought it from a used record store about 12 or 13 after it came out. I bought it for less than $10, the price of a normal used CD. I don't think the guy realized he had something rare... I wonder how much people would be willing to pay for it?

    The copy I originally bought is in a plastic case but doesn't say "vs" on it, just "pearl jam". I bought it about a week after it was released, because that's when I got my allowance. :)

    Mine is in a jewel case with no title, only Pearl Jam

    Bought it the day it came out

    Peace

    I don't see how an album that sold 900,000 copies the first week could be rare.

    I was a sophomore in high school, and I skipped class to go pick this cd up. Of course, I didn't go back to school until we all heard the album in its entirety.

    Never had the gatefold CD I don't think. I have the jewel case. When vs came out I was a vinyl only freak - but the vinyl came out A WEEK BEFORE THE CD!! [edit: I think. Am I right?] So I was gloating!! Still have my original vinyl, plus one or two more pristine replacements I picked up on the way. Different cover at first I believe

    Still have mine...I was living in Japan at the time it came out, and bought mine at a local record store. It was in a jewel case, with no title at all. Inside, it had a tri-fold insert in the front of the jewel case with the album cover, as well as a mini-booklet, that had the lyrics in English and Japanese. The actual disc said "Pearl Jam" near the bottom, and had the song titles printed on it as well.

    Which drummer is on the back of that five against one??

    That's a tough one...it's obviously not Krusen or Abbruzzese, but it doesn't look like Matt Chamberlain either. Chamberlain did use a 3-tom set up on his drum kit like the one shown, but his cymbal set up was a little different. Maybe it's some random photo the bootlegger used - I've seen some pretty weird photos in some of the import bootlegs and press releases. On that note - I sure think it's funny how a lot of the "true" bootlegs I have, have copyright and unauthorized reproduction warnings on 'em!

    I always thought that was funny too. Who are they going to complain to? :lol:

    Been playing my original Vitalogy all day and it sounds perfect. I have two copies of Vs and neither of them skip - the only problem with the first one was that I screwed it up through overplaying and not caring for it and now it sounds like it has been attacked with sandpaper. Is your tonearm weight correct? Maybe you have it set too light....

    Me too. All midnight sales except Ten and Backspacer. Pretty sure I even still have the "long box" Ten came in. Remember those?

    those cardboard 'security' boxes? yeah...I had a Ten one too...along with Nevermind, REM, and a bunch of others...they got tossed out by the psycho freak I lived with.
