WHAT A FASCINATING BOOK!!!

For all you music fans, this is the BOOK THAT INSPIRED EDDIE VEDDER, the lead singer and one of the rhythm guitarists of the grunge and alternative rock band PEARL JAM. He is widely considered a cultural icon of alternative rock.

Vitalogy is the third studio album by the American alternative rock band Pearl Jam, released on November 22, 1994 through Epic Records. Pearl Jam wrote and recorded Vitalogy while touring behind its previous album Vs. (1993). The music on the record was more diverse than previous releases, and consists of aggressive rock songs, ballads, and several experimental tracks.

Vitalogy was packaged in a booklet that replicated material from a 1920s medical book of the same name. The album was first released on vinyl record, followed by a release in other formats two weeks later on December 6, 1994. Upon its CD release, Vitalogy became the second-fastest-selling album in the band\'s history, behind only Vs. The album has been certified five times platinum by the RIAA in the United States.

In 1898, VITALOGY, a home health encyclopedia was first published. In 1930, after a half-million copies were sold, a new expanded edition was published. This original comprehensive guide to health and home was cherished by millions. Filled with chapters on Hydropathical treatment of diseases, food and home remedies from Japan and Europe in addition to covering anatomy, diseases, herbal remedies, and moral advice for the home, it served as a complete reference book for the household. It was sold by subscription only. By WWII its use diminished, more \"modern\" medical drug guides were issued and the VITALOGY home health encyclopedia faded into obscurity.

MORE PEARL JAM HISTORY

The original title for the Vitalogy album was Life. The first single, \"Spin the Black Circle,\" was released before the album was released, and on the back of the single it states \"From the Epic album Life.\" The album title Vitalogy comes from the early 20th Century medical book on which the cover art and liner notes are based. Vitalogy literally means \"the study of life.\"

Vedder found the medical book at a garage sale. Ament stated, \"Ed brought in that book, and we said man that would make a great album cover.\" He explained that from Vs. onwards the band tried to take different approaches to packaging its records. Ament said, \"We tried really hard, to make it like a book, kind of tipped it so it opened horizontally, which pissed off record stores: they had to put it in sideways.\" The packaging cost an extra 50 cents per copy. Problems arose when the band discovered that later versions of the book were still under copyright. The band had to confer with their lawyers in order to work out a final version utilizing the material they wanted to include with the album.

The booklet contains outdated discussions of health and well-being. Other notes in the booklet, dealing with life and death reflections, seem to be more personal, like a message typed on one of the last pages, supposedly referring to the loss of a loved one (\"I waited all day. you waited all day.. but you left before sunset...and I just wanted to tell you the moment was beautiful. Just wanted to dance to bad music...drive bad cars...watch bad TV...should have stayed for the sunset... if not for me.\"). The booklet also displays some poems or original sayings not belonging to the songs\' lyrics, but to be interpreted as a commentary to the songs and, again, as a reflection on how life should or shouldn\'t be lived. An example is the poem typed on the \"Aye Davanita\" page. The song\'s subtitle is \"The song without words\", as it is an instrumental track. But the page displays a sort of poem about the wasted life of a young girl. Another episode of \"intruder words\" is on the \"Not for You\" lyrics page. After the second refrain, instead of the actual lyrics, the typed words give a hint about the Sisyphus myth (\"Yeah, you call me Sisyphus love. Yeah, I move the rock. I just don\'t want to talk about moving the rock. Anything that distracts me from moving the rock\"). The lyrics to \"Whipping\" are written on a copy of a petition to Bill Clinton against \"pro-life\" killings of abortion doctors. An X-ray of Vedder\'s teeth was pictured instead of lyrics on the page for \"Corduroy.\"
