Rock News – Pearl Jam to reissue ‘Vs.’ and ‘Vitalogy’

Eddie Vedder is keeping his clan busy this year. After all, it’s the 20th anniversary of Pearl Jam, so celebrating is in order.

Earlier this year, there was the live album, “Live on Ten Legs” (out Jan. 18.). Then, the rumers that Pearl Jam is toying with the idea of kicking off their own music festival this summer. And now, the band is re-releasing its legendary 1993 and 1994 albums, “Vs.” and “Vitalogy,” in four expanded editions on March 29. Preorders are available via Pearl Jam’s official website. All editions will feature the original albums remastered, plus some b-sides and bonus tracks. Both will be available in vinyl ($19.98-$24.98) or CD ($9.98).

Each album will also be released in new commemorative, vinyl editions on April 12, in conjunction with National Record Store Day 2011 (April 16).

Fingers-crossed for new songs this year, too.
