    Ten - used cd from small shop in college town.  I was trying to join a band, and the keyboard player wanted to play Black.  So I bought the cd to learn.  Not that exciting a song for a bass player, but the rest of the album made up for that!
    Vs - New cd.  Asked my girlfriends roommate to pick up the one Id seen in a store in our hometown.  Specifically wanted the black plastic "snap case", if you will, as opposed to the generic cd jewel case.
    Vitalogy - New cd.  A Best Buy on release day (or night?)
    No Code - New cd.  Forget actually when and where.  I took another chance on them after the downward slope of Vitalogy.  3rd albums are frequently a mishmash, as a group (usually) is trying to figure out where they might be going for a long run.  Theyve beaten the crap outta their first 2 albums, so then now what?  No Code was not an improvement.  Figured I was done with them.
    Yield - used cd.  Cheap, I wanna say 3-5 bucks.  No idea how long after release date.
    2000 Bootlegs - I was very intrigued by this whole project.  Rows and rows of light grey and dark tan cardboard in the Best Buys.  Only issue was, couldnt figure which ones to get into!  
    Binaural - New cd.  Couldnt say when or where, but got it to hear studio versions of 2000 Bootleg songs.
    Riot Act - New cd.  Had it ready for my 2003 return to Pearl Jam concert attending!
    S/T - New cd from TenClub shop w/ bonus 12/31/92 cd.
    Backspacer - New cd from Target w/ two concert downloads.
    Lightning Bolt - New cd from TenClub.  
    To this day, I own none vinyl of Pearl Jam studio albums.  Love the vinyl vaults, annual singles, live vinyl EPs, side projects, etc etc etc...!   =)=):o

    Didn’t they release Yield a week early for vinyl?

    Inherited VS (cd) and Vitalogy (vinyl) from my brother when he got a girlfriend in high school and started listening only to country. I was in middle school.
     Bought a used copy of Ten on CD shortly after. From No Code on I bought both CD and vinyl the day they were released (except Binaural, never did get that vinyl)

    But I remember getting Yield a week early on vinyl, anyone else remember that?
