Vinyl LP pressing in gatefold jacket. No Code is the fourth studio album by Pearl Jam, originally released on August 27, 1996. Following a troubled tour for it’s previous album, Vitalogy (1994), in which Pearl Jam engaged in a much-publicized boycott of Ticketmaster, the band went into the studio to record it’s follow-up. The music on the record was more diverse than what the band had done on previous releases, incorporating elements of garage rock and worldbeat.
