Pearl Jam / Rear View Mirror (Greatest Hits) 2LP vinyl
Pearl Jam’s 2004 ‘best of’ is issued on vinyl for the first time outside the USA. This was originally a 4LP set but 18 years later, these have been split into two separate volumes. Volume 1 (“Up”) contains the band’s heavier rock songs, while the Volume 2 (“Down”) consists of slower songs and ballads. You can’t pick up the original US pressing on Discogs for less than £250, so this is great for fans.
