(Gibson) As previously reported, Pearl Jam are celebrating their 20th anniversary as a band all year long. Among the festivities: a destination festival in the summer, the release of Cameron Crowe's documentary on the band and the re-release of Pearl Jam's Vs. and Vitalogy albums.

The band's second and third album will be released on March 29 and will each feature three extra tracks, according to Antiquiet.com. Vs. will contain "Hold On" (originally included on the rarities collection Lost Dogs), "Cready Stomp" (an unreleased track rumored to be a Mike McCready instrumental) and "Crazy Mary" (a duet with singer-songwriter Victoria Williams, put out on a Sweet Relief compilation).

Vitalogy, meanwhile, will include alternate takes of some the hit album's best-known songs. "Better Man" (delivered in a sparse, organ and guitar only version) is featured on the album, as is a demo of "Nothingman" and a different version of "Corduroy." more on this story
