FAN-MADE PROJECT - NOT FOR SALE

Pearl Jam’s debut album is turning 30 years old, so I thought it was time to give it the proper ridleybradout deluxe treatment. I usually start these notes with a backstory on the album, but I think we all know it pretty well by now: ‘rose from the ashes’, yadda yadda. What we don’t know are the details of Pearl Jam’s recording history during these ‘lightning in a bottle’ sessions which took place at London Bridge Studios between 1990 and 1992. So I made it my mission to piece together all the information available from interviews, books, liner notes, cassette leaks, as well as personal communications with people who were there such as Cameron Crowe and engineers Dave Hillis and Jonathan Plum, in order to bring together the most complete and organised collection of recordings from the 1990-1992 sessions ever assembled.
Disc One starts with a WCT remaster of the 2008 Brendan O’Brien remix from the ‘Redux’ edition of the album. While having less reverb and better separation than the original mix, this remix suffered from massive brickwalling issues. WCT’s remaster has a much more crisp, balanced and natural sound - this is the closest you are going to get to hearing what it was like being at London Bridge Studios while they tracked the album. Disc One is rounded out with the six completed outtakes from the ‘Ten’ sessions (which flow really nicely together), including the more developed version of ‘Wash’ that was recorded during the actual album sessions, and sounds more similar to the excellent live versions from this period.
Disc Two presents the Stone Gossard demos recorded with Matt Cameron and Chris Friel in August 1990. They come from a variety of sources, as the sound quality of these was highly variable. WCT has done a magnificent job to get them sounding as good as this. Disc Two concludes with the ‘Momma-Son’ tape that birthed the band, sourced from an official promo CD of the 2009 box set.
Disc Three contains the original ‘Mookie Blaylock Demos’, laid down at London Bridge the day after the band’s first show. A track known as ‘Instrumental #2’ that surfaced on a cassette of outtakes circulated to friends of the band has been retitled ‘Garden Jam’ and is attributed to this session, though its recorded date has yet to be confirmed. It’s also possible that this track came from the ‘Alive’ promo session recorded in January 1991, which rounds out this disc. In addition to the 3 tracks released on the ‘Alive’ promo, ‘Touch Me I’m Dick’ and ‘Wishing Well’ are included here as I’ve received indication that they were also from this session. Little known fact discovered in the 2009 Ten Box set scrapbook: ‘Yellow Ledbetter’ was also recorded during this session. There were other songs recorded on this day but they remain unknown and unreleased.
Disc Four starts with demos and outtakes from that have been confirmed to have come from the main ‘Ten’ sessions recorded in March-April 1991. Shortly after these sessions wrapped up, Dave Krusen left the band and was temporarily replaced with Matt Chamberlain, who put them in touch with Dave Abbruzesse. Dave has his first rehearsal with Pearl Jam on August 5, 1991, and immediately impressed. After playing some album launch shows in August, the band went back to London Bridge Studios in September to record the version of ‘State of Love and Trust’ that was used in the movie ‘Singles’ (before being later remixed by Brendan O’Brien for the soundtrack) and some other demos and instrumental ideas. ‘Chinese’ and the demo version of ‘Leash’ sourced from the ‘Stuffins’ cassette are thought, though not confirmed, to be from these sessions. The one track on this set not previously in circulation is a full-band acoustic version of ‘Hold On’, which comes via the owner of the ‘Dave A’ cassette collection. Unfortunately missing from this session is a cover of the ‘Yes’ song ‘Owner Of A Lonely Heart’, which has yet to be circulated, but has a spot on this disc waiting to welcome it when it does.
Disc Four continues with the tracks recorded during the two-day ‘Singles’ session in January 1992, the Brendan O’Brien remixes from May 1992, and finally key ‘Ten’-era tracks, ‘Footsteps’ and ‘Sonic Reducer’ recorded in May and September 1992 respectively. The PJ20 book states that the band also recorded an impressive cover of ‘Baba O’Riley’ in the September 1992 session, hopefully we get to hear it one day.

WCT, care to share your software/process for putting more dynamic range back into previously mastered tracks? Yeah
Re-equalization and nothing more has restored some dynamic range.
"Ten" remix still doesn't sound "great" to me thanks to O'Brien's magic touch, but it's a way better mastering than the bloated dog shit we were given.
Curious why you didn't go with I've Got a Feeling.
Do you mean why isn't it on the 2CD B-Sides & Outtakes disc? Because it's a cover. IGAF and all the other covers are on Discs 3 and 4 of the 4CD version

Yes! The idea behind that deluxe 2-cd set is that you get all the complete leftover tracks on one disc. With that 2nd disc we tried to create something that plays as a studio album.
