In conjunction with the launch of the new pearljam.com, two additional reissues have been announced.
On Earth As It Is: The Complete Works is a reissue of the works from Mother Love Bone and it will be available in two formats:
- 3 LP Box Set – featuring remastered vinyl of Shine and Apple along with new artwork, rare photos, and other memorabilia
- 3 CD/1 DVD Box Set – featuring both Shine and Apple remastered plus b-sides, demos, and unreleased songs (including Stradog Champion performed by Pearl Jam & Chris Cornell at Alpine Valley in 2011). The box set will also include Love Bone Earth Affair – available for the first time on DVD, and includes bonus features of rare unseen live Mother Love Bone performances and more. Both products will feature new artwork by Jeff Ament.
The band has also reissued the official bootlegs from their 2000 tour. All 72, previously out-of-print, shows are now available with a new artwork at PearlJam.com in both physical and digital formats.

The Pearl Jam frontman is also contributing to the soundtrack for Netflix’s new animated children’s series Beat Bugs, which premieres its first season on August 3.
