This is still my fav PJ album. Start to finish the most complete record.

I was 17 just left high school and was working at Target At the time of release. I’d been hassling the gals in the sound and Audio department about the album for months.

Closing up on the Saturday and the store manger called me outback and let me take a copy home on the condition I paid for it next week when it was officially released.

The GF was due to come over 30 minutes later and no mobile phones so I sped home and blasted it. I remember jumping around on my bed to “Blood” when the GF opened the door :-(

She laughed at left me to it.

It was a great day

Target, WalMart and K-Mart all started in 1962.

How close were Better Man, Hard To Imagine, or Whipping to getting onto VS? Were there any early tracklists that included any of them?

They were all 3 played at that Slim’s Cafe show before the release so it’s safe to assume they were being considered. We know Hold On was being worked on but nothing about is ever saw the light of day until years later, so it probably wasn’t in contention. Who knows what the fuck was going on with that a Cready Stomp thing?

It would be fun to see a track listing that included them. And see where they might fit.

Better Man wasn't close, per Brendan O'Brien in PJ20 book .. he pushed Ed to include it but instead Ed gave it away to Chrissie Hynde to record for a charity album, and then for some reason she never showed up for the session. That's why it was available again for Vitalogy.

Me happening to look at that very setlist inspired the question!

I thought he was trying to give it away to Heart.

Same but the year was 1994.

I am not sure this album is ever totally out of rotation for me.

B!

I've never seen that picture.

When I hear Vs. now I think, "what the hell happened to BOB's production skills?" I should be thinking, "I am so grateful BOB was there to capture the magic so well."

Totally agree with this. One of my favourite sounding records. A lot of the more recent releases sound compressed.
