Statement from Sony Music regarding Pearl Jam Vinyl Box Set Numbering:

"Regarding the LP box numbering.

A total of 500 units were to be numbered for sales on pearljam.com.  An additional 100 units were to be manufactured for label and band use and not to be sold or numbered. However, due to a manufacturing error, these additional units were also numbered, packaged and delivered.  We were unaware of this manufacturing error before we began shipping orders and apologize to the fans who received a number greater than 500."

    What a joke, i love it how big companies can screw up and just say ooops sorry. How can they not have known.

    So 600, I would assume since we are seeing numbers above 500 in consumers hands that the first 100 would be for label and band use.

    Or I wonder if they just randomly pulled numbers?

    I read this as 1-500 were supposed to be sales on here. 501-600 were supposed to be kept back for the band but somehow got sold as well and were shipped out.

    Yea, maybe. So 600 were sold? They didn't keep any back for label and band use? What numbers are they auctioning off?

    Its all a joke, Sony stated that 1-500 were to be numbered and sold and another 100 were to be unnumbered and not sold. So how were the 100 to be any different than however many empty boxes were sold?  Mysteriously they accidentally numbered 600 and sold them all. Who knows how many they actually made. This whole thing is a debacle.

    Do the ones they are auctioning off even have a COA in them? I haven't been following it. If not they could have some empty boxes left over and just put together the package without it. If it does have a COA I would be curious too what number it is. Also I have yet to see a 0-99 number so maybe my theory is wrong.

    It seems to me that 600 were numbered by mistake. This info would have never made it out if they were inspected upon delivery.  If inspected, pull out #501-600 and use those for band and promo uses.  PJ nuts still get there precious #1-500 and never know anything different.

    I'm reading it as of the 500 sold and shipped to customers, you may receive a number higher than 500.  And if you do, that's why.  Not that all 600 were sold to customers.

    They probably just pulled out a random 100 boxes from the pallet - who knows if they are packed in order - and set them aside for band/label/promo use. 

    I doubt 10C sold over 500 of these, since that was the intent.

    Mistakes happen. They apologized. This isn't a big deal.

    "These additional units were ALSO numbered, packaged and delivered"  600 were sold. False advertising everybody should get a partial refund!

    I assume delivered to 10club, not customers. No?  Surely 10club got their 100, just incorrect numbers.

    Thanks for the update but i would like to know how many box sets arrived sealed to the 10club? Vitagloy Foundation website has up a sealed box set while fans are receiving opened box sets in the mail.

    I like the insight it gives us to how much the 10c overruns when producing something.  In this case 20% overrun for family/friends/auctions etc...

    It's a box.
    And a number.
    It means nothing.
    It's the music inside that's important - unless your intent was to flip it from the get go.
