The four Ten re-issue special edition packages will hit stores on March 24, 2009 but for all you die hard fans you can pre-order the 2008 Ten Super Deluxe Edition here for $140.00 (which includes free shipping anywhere in the U.S.). It’s the largest of the four deluxe editions and includes everything they could come up with. While I’d love to get my hands on one of these bad boys, the price is a little much for me. I think I’ll just be going for the Deluxe Edition, which also includes a DVD of Pearl Jam’s previously unreleased 1992 MTV Unplugged performance. I’ve been dying for a legit copy of their Unplugged performance for years and won’t be passing up on a chance to finally own it!
For more information on the re-release check out this great article on Billboard.com and to find out what will be included in each of the four Ten re-issue special edition packages read below:
