Pearl Jam is celebrating indie record stores with the release of a special edition of Dark Matter on April 20. Only at participating stores as part of Record Store Day. Get more information and find stores at www.recordstoreday.com
this is at the bottom of the news release on the homepage.
Saw that, too. Pretty sure that means the RSD version will be something other than the clear.
"I'm a lucky man, to count on both hands the [shows I've done]. Some folks just have one, others they got none..."
man... consumerism at its finest... people posting on fb that they ordered every single variant is so cringe
IDK. I err on the side of just let people enjoy stuff if they have the means.
I think the red is good enough for me tho.
I made a deal with myself when I saw that pearl Jam started going this route of several colour variants with their re-issues - that I go strictly with the tenclub version going forward whatever the colours might be. The same if there is a reiusse I do not have.
"Mostly I think that people react sensitively because they know you’ve got a point"
Woot! Don't have to worry about trying to get that one (no shame on anyone into it - there'll be one more on the shelves for you)!
its cool but I'll live with my ten club version

I think this will look a lot better in person. Hopefully I will be able to get one easily, since I ain't standing in line for hours. RSD just isn't fun anymore for non-flippers. Just speaking for myself.

For those who don't buy a lot of vinyl, are not collectors of variants, and just want the record...the black version is gonna be half price everywhere before the Fall tour leg starts

And the black editions tend to have better quality control/less pressing issues.

And nowadays, the print run for the "standard" editions are sometimes (often?) lower and more "rare" than for the coloured one(s)
(not sure about the quality control/pressing issues thing though. If that has ever been prooven)

Wasn't one of the reasons for discontinuing the Fan Club Single due to challenges with procuring vinyl - now we are getting multiple versions of the same music...

The fan club singles were made in house. Not done by Universal Music / Republic Records.

They never gave a reason. My guess is low interest from the band and management.

Its always been dependent on the plant were its pressed and style. QC issues increase when the biscuits are mixed (split/tri/quad). Technically the natural color is a cloudy clear (Look at the UHQRs or Mofi One step, which don't use black and use a high quality pvc that isn't black). The theory is the carbon used for black creates less surface noise, but I don't think thats been proven either.
In reality, it all comes down to the plant where its pressed and the quality of the materials used.

Maybe it will be more yellow than olive.
I think the red is good enough for me tho.

My local record store will probably have 6 copies, depending on the edition size which I'm guessing will be 10,000.
