    Did Backspacer set Target back, in the end?
    No. Remember people go into Target for one thing and end up buying more than they need.

    You could get those show downloads and the killer Loomstate BS tee! I might have two stored in my closet as I wear out my current one!

    Probably not. Supposedly, Target paid $5 million for 1 million copies. At $12.00 a pop, they'd make back their money if they sold 417,000 copies (although that doesn't account for marketing costs).
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.

    What did they do with the rest of the copies since about 700-800k were sold?

    We don't have Targets over here. But I take it by your account that they work like a Pearl Jam merch tent :P

    Got a shipping confirmation. Once it arrives in Germany, I will sell my white one. One vinyl version of the 11th best studio album will be enough for me.

    Same here, shipping confirmation received from Amazon US. Was a bargain shipped to England. Just hoping it is real and not a fake

    They remain in inventory. That's why you can still spot them here and there.

    That and Backspacer in 24Bit Flac-HD. It's the only Pearl Jam album that hasn't had an HD audio release.

    I've seen it in Target within the past year. I'm talking about the CD. I've never seen the vinyl in Target. The market for vinyl in 2009 was limited, and I'm not sure if Target was carrying any vinyl back then.
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.

    I love that t-shirt. It's by far my favorite Pearl Jam shirt but I've pretty much stopped wearing it because unfortunately I didn't think ahead and buy two.
