Pearl Jam – MTV Unplugged

Love the acoustic versions of some of there biggest hits. Classic. Very nice pressing sound wise.

Wonderful pressing, Krieger again did a great job cutting this, nice image and vocals really pop out and MPO did a great job pressing it, very silent with nice gatefold, overall a very good pressing of this very underrated unplugged within the grunge scene. This is right up with the very best Eddie gave Black a new meaning with his voice, short but epic.

Wouldn't mind a copy of the dvd. Any knocking about?

I am very glad I bought this 2 x vinyl release for my collection for several reasons.
Although there is a certain amount of background noise, there are also some pops/clicks, but I still rate the sound of this release very highly for its unmistakable authentic, rawness that makes you really feel like you're one of the audience, close to Eddie and his bandmates.
We can read in some reviews that it can be annoying for someone to listen between songs plugging in amps or tuning things... but I think this was the intention of the creator of this release (track 7. TUNNING JAM) and it works great for me - it conveys authenticity much better and draws you right into the room, to the moments with musicians.

I'm also very pleased with the song selection.

(Pro Ject Debut Carbon Esprit + Ortofon 2M RED + Modified Sony TA-FA3ES + Bi-Wired Shan Emotion E520)

Great. Bass is a little wide and guitars are thin but it’s live so ?? When you compare to the unplugged record from Alice In Chains or Nirvana this is poor.

Has official Sony release on gatefold.

Got this for Xmas & it has to be said that this beautifully mastered & pressed red hot-wax sounds waaaaaaaaaaaay better than it should, with terrific fidelity, good bass, a punchy drumkit & nice clarity to Ed's voice. Vinyl is dead-silent.

I have the first variant (with code) that I bought right at the start of 2020 when it was repressed the first time. The mastering/cut of this is very pleasant, clear, warm and dynamic, with a rich low end and the instruments widely spread out. The pressing quality is subpar though, like almost anything I received from MPO: Warped disc and before the music starts there is some "whoosh" sound noticeable. Side B also had mutliple surface scuffs right out of the shrink! Fortunately all of that barely affects the music, but still, yet another example of inexistent quality control, which was even shortly before Covid when general vinyl quality still was a bit better.

Just received my copy, added variant 9 to this release, has different matrix / runout numbers. It does sound quite good indeed, but the pressing is off-center, doesn't seem to affect the sound, yet have to listen more carefully though. Anyone else noticed this? Is this a new release perhaps even instead of just a variant?

I bought this on a whim (ive been unwell recently so needed a pick up). Later discovered before it arrived that it was unofficial etc etc, coloured vinyl too, paper sleeves (you know the drill if you're fussy like me and chasing perfection!!) so my expectations were very low. HOWEVER, this is remarkably good. Off the bat, both records appeared clean and after a vac wash on the Pro-Ject it's sounds utterly superb. Fabulous detail, definition and not bass bloaty at all, no sibiliance on the cymbals. I want to know who mastered this?, where was it was pressed? ('EU') guessing it was optimal?. I 'm running a very unforgiving Rega Ania Pro, P6 TT. I have not spotted any significant crackles, pops, skips. You see a side of Eddie here before Jeremy, where he says to the crowed about the rights to have an abortion , very poignant given where we are today! Well worth the money this record and I'm astounded how good it sounds despite the lack of information on the sleeve. Fabulous crowd participation too, not overbearing but just right imo. Lovely.....

Subpar sound quality. Also, you get to hear Eddie give his pro-abortion political crap speech. Get the Bennaroya Hall vinyl if you can (even the boot sounds good). That is the live show that was well-recorded.
