Verizon Wireless was all proud to announced that their V CAST Music with Rhapsody will be the first digital music service to deliver the highly anticipated re-master of Pearl Jam’s “Ten” — the band’s debut album that introduced the world to the band in 1991 and has sold more than 12 million copies to date.

From the official release:

10 Weeks of “Ten” will bring a full-track song from the new, digitally re-mastered album to V CAST Music with Rhapsody each week beginning Jan. 13. “Once” will be the first song from “Ten” that will be available for download and purchase, followed in subsequent weeks by “Even Flow,” “Alive” and the remainder of the album, including two additional tracks during the final week. Fans can check out the “What’s New” and “Features” sections of V CAST Music with Rhapsody on their phones each Tuesday to find out which exclusive Pearl Jam song is available that week (see full list and schedule below).

Pearl Jam fans can also download the “Jeremy,” “Even Flow,” “Alive” and “Oceans” music videos straight to their V CAST-enabled phones from the Music Videos channel on V CAST Video.
