Description
This auction is for Pearl Jam's sixth studio album, Binaural, on rare Double Vinyl. This record is Out of Print and very hard to find. The packaging is unsealed but both records are in perfect condition with no scratches. The only thing that shows any cosmetic flaw is the back of the packaging which has some minor white scratches and the front of the packaging shows the indentation outline of the record (see photos), but the records themselves as well as the booklet are in perfect condition.
High bidder pays $12 insured shipping anywhere in the U.S., slightly higher out of the U.S. depending on location.
Thank you.
Pearl Jam lowered its profile after becoming a worldwide musical phenomenon in the early '90s, pulling back from the touring, radio, and press fronts. And this diverse 13-song outing, lacking another "Alive" or "Better Man," isn't the album to thrust Pearl Jam back into the limelight. Binaural kicks out the jams with a grandiosity worthy of the Who, as Pearl Jam roars through the loose, raucous two-minute-plus opener "Breakerfall" and into another brief rave-up, "God's Dice." Quickly, though, the loud MC5-style guitar outpourings that begin PJ's seventh album (and first to feature former Soundgarden drummer Matt Cameron) morph into the edgy, taut "Evacuation" and the midtempo "Light Years." The spare, mournful "Nothing as It Seems" (with lyrics and music by bassist Jeff Ament), "Thin Air," and the lilting "Parting Ways" all reflect romantic introspection. Eddie Vedder's poignant ukulele-accompanied "Soon Forget" is an affecting aside, and the rollicking "Insignificance" and Middle Eastern-tinged "Of the Girl" are all noteworthy. That's a strong lineup, but Binaural nevertheless falls short of the heights this talented group scaled in the past. --Katherine Turman
