Pearl Jam – No Code

To celebrate the 25th anniversary of No Code, Legacy are reissuing the album on 150-gram black vinyl featuring recreations of the original packaging, including the set of nine replica Polaroids/lyric cards.

The 1996 sessions for No Code featured longtime producer Brendan O’Brien (his third consecutive collaboration with the band) and drummer Jack Irons, who’d joined the band at the end of the Vitalogy sessions. They explored new approaches to writing and recording, developing songs out of jam sessions and eschewing their stadium-grunge style for self-examining ballads, garage rock and even psychedelic sounds. No Code became the band’s third consecutive No. 1 album, with lead single “Who You Are” topping Billboard’s Modern Rock chart.
