PEARL JAM: Rearviewmirror **** (Epic/Sony). Ace double CD collection that brings all of the Seattle band's best together for the first time. Pearl Jam may have sabotaged its mainstream career in recent years but this 33-track compilation is remarkably consistent. Includes live favourite Yellow Ledbetter and other rarities, but diehard fans will probably demand more odds & sods and less hits.
