Pearl Jam CD Reissues 2017 ?

MedozK

Has anyone actually seen these .”new” CD releases? Do they actually exist?

I'd like to know as well. Same original packaging or is there a difference. Love the hard book issues of recent albums and think the entire collection should be this way.

It's been a couple of years since I had last listened to No Code on CD.  When I went to pull it out, I found that the disc was missing from the case.  I ordered a new CD copy from Amazon on Saturday.  I figured that for $16, they'd still be using the same packaging, or I'd be getting new/old stock.  Nope!

The double gatefold is now a single gatefold.  The front and back are present, but the inside shots (that flipped up) are missing completely.  The single gatefold houses a booklet on the left, containing artwork from the album.  Instead of 9 polaroids, the booklet features all polaroids backed with lyrics.

The CD itself shows a copyright of 2006, 2017 and shows the Legacy brand.

I haven't listened yet.  I was considering going to a thrift store to get a replacement disc, but I figured I'd give this one a go.  I always enjoyed the sound quality of this album, so I'm hoping they just left it alone.  Discogs and other places around the web are calling this one a reissue, not a remaster, so I'm hopeful they used the same DAT or even the original casts with this one.  If you don't hear from me again in this thread, then it's safe to assume the pressing is the same.

discogs shows a "no code" 2018 australia reissue with a jewel case. so, that is even different from the version described by SA46893?

If it's a different mastering, then the changes must be subtle.  It might be a bit louder than before, but that could be my mind/ears playing tricks on me. 

Here's the presentation, in case anyone is curious:

Does this new No Code CD have the lyrical change in Who You Are like the vinyl reissue?

It has the "circumstance" lyric and not the "clapping hands" lyric.

And I apologize for the typo...I really need to proofread... I meant to write 1996 instead of 2006 (regarding the copyright information).  At least I included pictures, right? ;-)

I wasn't aware of the lyrical change.  I guess that answers my question.  This disc is a different master than the original.  Good to know!

I think the new lyric has “avalanche” in it or something? The original is “clapping hands”

or am i confused?

Are the Polaroids and booklet included in this version?

Pap

I've just read in the customer reviews section that it doesn't come as the original with the Polaroids.

Hmm, will have to buy and check for mastering differences.

Thanks for the update guys,

Please update when you have had a listen, I am really curious as to whether or not they are the remasters.

If it helps anyone, I was in fopp in Cambridge yesterday and they had some of the new reissues. All the ones they had (no code through to avocado) were digipacks with 2017 and the original dates listed on the back sleeve from what I could see.

This interesting

Don’t think it has been mentioned here but I recently ordered the reissue of ‘Avocado’ and it is the Brendan O’Brien remix
