Pearl Jam Announce Yield 25th Anniversary Vinyl Reissue

Pearl Jam is commemorating the 25th anniversary of their 1998 album Yield by unveiling some exciting additions for dedicated fans of the record. Among these offerings are two notable releases - a collaboration with Vinyl Me, Please for a 2xLP edition and a live album from that period. The band's recent unveiling can be categorized into two distinct types - material catering to audiophiles and items aimed at collectors.

Pearl Jam Unveiling a Special Vinyl

Naturally, the reissued vinyl falls into the first category. The reissue of Yield, available in translucent red and black vinyl, serves as a debut for Vinyl Me, Please's new high-quality pressing facility in Denver. Pre-orders are currently open. Furthermore, a fresh spatial audio mix of the album, skillfully produced and mixed by Josh Evans and Nick Rives, is now accessible on streaming platforms. For those with a penchant for rare treasures, Pearl Jam is at last pressing Give Way, a live concert performance from the Yield era, onto both vinyl and CD formats for the very first time. This recording captures a concert that took place at Melbourne Park, Australia, on March 5th, 1998 — a significant show as it marked one of the band's final performances with drummer Jack Irons.

A Collaboration With Vinyl Me, Please

While originally intended for a promotional CD release during that era, the album will now see the light of day on CD and 2xLP black vinyl, coinciding with the celebration of Record Store Day 2023. Pearl Jam has also outlined their intention to present a high-definition rendition of Single Video Theory, a documentary that delves into the creative process behind Yield, directed by Mark Pellington. In anticipation of its remastered launch, the band has shared new clips from the documentary, providing glimpses of their rehearsal sessions for album tracks "Given to Fly" and "Do the Evolution". The band's most recent album before these releases was Gigaton, released in 2020.
