    Hope @jason_94 got one this time around.


    A big thank you to the great people here in our community!!!

    Thank you PP193448, elwayvedder, & demetrios for the PMs and thank you cmalisze for the message on Wednesday when these were made available again!!!

    As a result, I was able to get an order in for the deluxe book. Very much looking forward to seeing this when it arrives!!!

    Thank you very much Santos & 10Club! I'm very glad that, for whatever reason, you were able to make more available in the shop. Hopefully all of the others that wanted this but had missed out were able to pick it up this time.

    With all of the "thanks" going out, it only seems right to send a thank you to Mr. Mike McCready as well. Thank you for not only putting together what will be a fantastic book but for going the extra mile & taking the time out to sign & make available several copies for us to purchase!

    Thanks again to everyone for all of your time & help!!!

    I'm hoping a few weeks before they hit store shelves on May 30th. I would LOVE to receive it here in Canada before that date. But that's inevitable.

    Pearl Jam’s Mike McCready to Publish Photo Book
    Michael Leonard
    03.24.2017



    Pearl Jam guitarist Mike McCready is to be publish a photo book comprising an array of Polaroid pictures taken over recent years. Of Potato Heads and Polaroids: My Life Inside and Out of Pearl Jam will arrive in May 2017 via Power House Books.

    McCready has carried his Polaroid camera on countless Pearl Jam tours and throughout his own travels, documenting everything from concerts, art and architecture to candid shots of friends and family. And the book will be packed with other famous faces: candid shots include pictures of Neil Young, Questlove, Paul McCartney, Sting, Dave Grohl, Bono, Jack White, Lady Gaga, Dustin Hoffman, Venus Williams and more.

    The book's title refers to a recurring character in McCready’s pictures — a Mr. Potato Head toy the guitarist also hauls around with him. Bless.

    Pearl Jam spent much of 2016 on the road celebrating their 25th anniversary, while McCready also reunited with his early grunge supergroup, Temple of the Dog. Pearl Jam are now gearing up for their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and the band will perform at the April 7 induction ceremony at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. It’s the group's only scheduled 2017 date, though Eddie Vedder will play a string of solo shows in Europe this summer.

    U2 guitarist The Edge is also publishing a photo book this year as part of the 30th Anniversary edition of The Joshua Tree album. Bryan Adams has won awards for his photography, while Andy Summers’ has had his photos featured in numerous exhibitions.

    I hope everybody gets a different signed Polaroid. That way we can come back to this thread and post the Polaroid we got signed.

    I let my deluxe copy lapse in the basket the first time since I couldn't find any suggestion of limited quantities. Was picking up my new Analog Membership t-shirt today, checked and sure enough the deluxe is back in stock. 10c doesn't need to tell me thrice... bought it this time...

    I don't think we're actually receiving a "signed polaroid" - they describe it as a "signed photo print".
    Can't see Mike giving up his original one-of-a-kind polaroids but I'll be plenty happy with a signed print.
    I wonder if they printed several different photo prints or just the same one for everyone.
    Well, it'll be fun waiting to find out!

    Looks like they will be signed Polariods ..



    Just would be printed on card stock like the No Code Polaroids that were included in the CD & vinyl release.

    2 months to go ... :)

    Yeah, that's what I'm saying: not an actual polaroid photograph but a photo print that LOOKS like a polaroid photograph.

    No idea but I'm hoping 10club orders arrive before they are available in stores May 30th. Maybe ship out international orders a month before? *crossing fingers o:)

    I bought one.

    I'm assuming each special edition book will have a one of a kind unique to purchaser Polaroid signed by Mime!

    How cool is that?
