Pearl Jam will complete its contract with Epic next month when they release their first hits collection. Due Nov. 16 on Epic, the release will feature a double-disc, 33-track CD titled “rearviewmirror” featuring many of their 90’s grunge classics. In lieu of new songs, “rearviewmirror” (the discs for which are split into an “Upside” and “Downside”) boasts remixes of three songs from the Seattle rock act’s seminal 1991 debut, “Ten.” Longtime producer Brendan O’Brien was behind the boards for new mixes of “Once,” “Alive” and “Black.” Beyond such staples as “Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town,” “Dissident,” “Wishlist” and “Even Flow,” the album includes the live favorite “Yellow Ledbetter” (which reached seven Billboard charts in the mid-’90s despite never being promoted to radio) and “Man of the Hour,” penned for the 2003 Tim Burton film “Big Fish.”Also featured is “Last Kiss,” a 1950s cover released on a 1999 charity single that improbably became the band’s biggest hit on pop radio. Pearl Jam recently wrapped its run on the Vote for Change tour and is expected to hit the studio next month to begin work on its eighth album.
