The music industry has been trying to replicate Ten since its release(sometimes getting lucky — I'm looking at you, Creed). This two-CD, one-DVD,four-LP set is the most lavish of four new reissues of Pearl Jam's 1991debut. Hardcore fans will glory in touches like the cassette replica of anearly demo tape. But Ten's powerful remix at Brendan O'Brien's hands is themain event: "Alive" hits harder; "Black" feels broader in scope; and EddieVedder's soaring vocals on "Oceans" shine brighter. All that said, this isan exercise for die-hards and audiophiles: To PJ's credit, the originaldidn't leave much room for improvement.

“Is It True”

As the British Invasion reached its peak in 1964, Brenda Lee went from Nashville to London to record one of her hardest-rocking hits, her perky vocal backed by a stuttering, squalling guitar. That guitar was played by session musician Jimmy Page, yet to skyrocket to fame with first the Yardbirds and then Led Zeppelin. "She said to me, 'I've come here to make a record with the British sound,'" remembered producer Mickie Most. "She felt she wouldn't get the same sound in Nashville because they're only just catching up on the British beat group sound of about six months ago."
