Trivia:

• Vitalogy was the first album to make it onto Billboard's Top 200 Albums as a vinyl release since the inception of CDs, where it ranked 55 during its debut week.
  
  
• SoundScan placed Vitalogy as the second fastest selling album of all time when it sold 877,000 copies during its first week, coming in just short of Vs.
  
  
• Vitalogy debuted with the number 1 position on Billboard's charts upon its release on cassette, CD and minidisk for the week of 11 Dec 1994. It held the position five consecutive weeks.
  
  
• Jack Irons makes his first unofficial Pearl Jam appearance on Vitalogy.
  
  
• That's a picture of a childhood Beth on the clowns lap in the liner notes. (Beth is, of course, Ed Ved's wife and honeybunny.)
  
  
• Even stranger, that's Eddie's eyes and ears in all of those pictures.
  
  
• Great Grandma Pearl wrote that note about ages and stuff.
  
  
• Australian singer (at least I think he's Australian) Frank Bennet did a cover of 'Better Man' on his album Five O'Clock Shadow.
