Musicians Who Care Vinyl; First Ed Recording
Thought this was cool for anyone who collects and it was the first time I'd seen it so thought I'd share. There is only one copy left I could find (just bought one) but it's apparently the first known wax recording of Ed.

From the listing:
"One member of "Musicians Who Care" - Eddie Vedder - was offered a spot on the record with his band, Bad Radio. The production team loved a Bad Radio song called "Believe You Me." The hitch was that each of the bands had to chip in $150 to help pay for the album costs (this was on vinyl). Eddie wanted to be on the record but couldn't convince his bandmates to invest the money.
So we found another band to take their place. But we did offer Eddie another chance to be on the record. The last track on the album was a We-Are-The-World-style rendition of "We Shall Overcome." He sang in the chorus and was also asked to sing one of the three leads.
Alas, he ended up bailing on the solo, but he did sing as part of "The Care." It was Eddie's first vinyl - in what came to be an amazing career."
Found it interesting and wanted to share in case anyone else wanted to spring for the $25.
