Pearl Jam’s highly anticipated ninth studio album, Backspacer, released September 20, just earned them their first No.1 on Billboard in 13 years, selling 189,000 copies according to Neilsen SoundScan. Produced by Brendan O’Brien, this highly-charged new disk marks Pearl Jam’s first independent release in the U.S. through the band’s own MonkeyWrench label.
“With the release of Backspacer, Pearl Jam is making good on its longstanding desire to release its music on its own terms,” said band manager Kelly Curtis. “Through a handful of collaborative partnerships, we were able to make the music accessible across multiple platforms for our fans and work with businesses – big and small – supportive of our overall sensibilities.”
Backspacer is available in the U.S. through Target – the exclusive mass retail partner, Pearl Jam’s own Ten Club, independent retailers, iTunes and Rock Band. Internationally, the album will be available via Universal/Island Records.
For Backspacer, Pearl Jam reunited with producer Brendan O’Brien who produced three of Pearl Jam’s earlier albums (Vs., Vitalogy, No Code), co-produced Yield and oversaw the re-mastering and remixing of their seminal debut Ten which was re-released earlier this year.
The lyrics for Backspacer were penned by Eddie Vedder with music written by Matt Cameron, Stone Gossard, Mike McCready, Jeff Ament, Eddie Vedder and recorded and mixed at Henson Studios in Los Angeles and Southern Tracks in Atlanta (liner notes attached).
Released on August 24th, the album’s first single, “The Fixer,” debuted on Billboard’s Hot 100 Chart and marked Pearl Jam’s highest sales week for a single download.

In addition to an online auction, charities frequently conduct a live gala and feature
a live auction at the event. For the auction lots that are included in the online auction
and the live auction, we note them with "liveBID" in the lot description, and we close
the online bidding the day of the live auction. We contact the highest bidder on those
liveBID lots by phone to see if they want us to continue bidding on their behalf at the
live auction. We can bid for you one of two ways:
- You can fill out your maximum bid online and we will bid UP TO this amount for you
during the live auction. We will stop bidding for you when your maximum bid is
reached.
- You can give us your contact phone number for the live event and one of our
personable charitybuzz staff will stay on the phone with you while the bidding takes
place. You must be registered of course to be part of liveBID. We will contact you if
you are the winning bidder immediately after the auction. Please email
info@charitybuzz.com with any questions.
ReserveBID is a way for donors/charities to ensure that items do not sell below their
value. Some items will start at a lower opening bid price to encourage bidding; however
items that display "ReserveBID not met" below the current bid are not obligated to be
sold to the highest bidder. Bidding must surpass the set reserve price in order to sell;
therefore once "ReserveBID not met" disappears, the item is valid for sale at the current
bid posted. Reserve prices are confidential and will not be revealed to bidders.
We value your confidentiality and security. In order to bid on lots over $5,000.00
your designated credit card will be validated for $5,000.00. No payments will be deducted
from your account for this credit card verification.
