Corduroy Hard to Imagine

November 1993 - Kingsway Studio - New Orleans, LA; January - February 1994 - Seattle, WA; March - April 1994 - Southern Tracks Recording - Atlanta, GA; ? April or May 1994 - Bad Animals Studio - Seattle, WA Ed Vedder - vocals, guitar, background vocals, accordion on 'Bugs'; Stone Gossard - guitar, background vocals, mellotron; Mike McCready - guitar, background vocals; Jeff Ament - bass, background vocals; Dave Abbruzzese - drum kit, percussion; Brendan O'Brien - organ Aye Davinita* [Vitalogy]* Better Man* [Vitalogy]* Bugs* [Vitalogy]* Corduroy* [Vitalogy]* Hard To Imagine* [Chicago Cab Soundtrack]* Immortality* [Vitalogy]* Last Exit* [Vitalogy]* Not For You* [Vitalogy]* Nothingman* [Vitalogy]* Pry, To* [Vitalogy]* Satan's Bed* *(a.k.a. Already In Love) *[Vitalogy]* Spin The Black Circle* [Vitalogy]* Tremor Christ* [Vitalogy]* Whipping* [Vitalogy]* ? Yellow Ledbetter Notes: The date of the April or May 1994 session may be inaccurate. Most of /Vitalogy/ was written and recorded during the /Vs./ tour. Sessions began in November 1993 and came to a close before May 15, 1994, as Kelly Curtis stated in the /Los Angeles Times/ on that day the album was going to be released "as quietly as possible." However, this quote excluded 'Stupid Mop' as it was recorded at a different session after Dave was fired from the band in August 1994. The rough mix of the album contains an outtake, some guitar, bass, and drum lines that were later removed from the final versions of the songs, and is missing some guitar lines that were later added to the final versions of the songs. 'Better Man,' 'Hard To Imagine,' 'Last Exit,' 'Nothingman,' 'Tremor Christ,' and 'Whipping' were written by the time of the November 1993 session, but 'Nothingman' and 'Tremor Christ' are the only songs confirmed to have been recorded there. 'Corduroy,' 'Not For You,' 'Satan's Bed,' and 'Spin The Black Circle' were debuted live in March 1994, so it's likely they were recorded during the January - February 1994 session, but no information is known for sure. 'Better Man' was recorded twice during the /Vitalogy/ sessions before Ed was comfortable with releasing it. The version found on the album is the second take. 'Hard To Imagine' was released on the /Chicago Cab Soundtrack/ in 1998. The song was always shelved after being recorded because nobody in the band felt it fit any album. There were some versions with different lyrics but they were just different vocal takes over the same instrumental. 'Immortality' was written and presumably recorded in late March and / or early April 1994, but it featured alternate lyrics when it was debuted live on April 11, 1994, so it's likely Pearl Jam entered the studio sometime later in April or May finish the album. This theory is backed up in the April 1995 edition of /Guitar World/ where Mike stated, "[/Vitalogy/] was mostly recorded while we were on tour. We did a little bit at Bad Animals Studios in Seattle at the end of our /Vs./ tour." Stone stated in the May 1995 edition of /Musician/, "'Tremor Christ' seemed to write itself. It was just a riff-and-a-half, basically. On a muggy, beautiful New Orleans afternoon we came into a very cool studio and it poured out. That and 'Nothingman,' which Jeff wrote, were recorded a day apart," but according to the /Vitalogy/ linear notes, the lyrics for 'Nothingman' were written in February 1994, so it's likely the instrumental was recorded in November 1993 and the vocals were recorded in February 1994. An alternate recording of 'Yellow Ledbetter' exists that is different from the version recorded during the /Ten/ sessions, so it may have been recorded, but no information is known for sure. ? September or October 1994 - Seattle, WA Ed Vedder - guitar; Jeff Ament - bass; Jack Irons - drum kit Stupid Mop (a.k.a. Hey Foxymophandlemama, That's Me) {instrumental}* **[Vitalogy]*** Notes: The exact date of this recording is unknown. 'Stupid Mop' was a last minute addition to /Vitalogy/.
