Epic Records delivers Pearl Jam [ tickets ]’s latest helping of official “bootlegs” to stores this week--a batch of 24 2-CD sets capturing the second leg of the group’s 2000 North American tour. This latest slew of Pearl Jam CDs comes exactly one month after the Feb. 27 release of 23 2-CD sets recorded during the first leg of the tour.

Seven of the sets released last month debuted on the Billboard 200 album chart, breaking the record that Pearl Jam set last fall, when five of the 25 sets recorded during its 2000 European tour debuted in the Top 200.

For those keeping count, the group has now released a total of 72 live, 2-CD sets since last September. “Binaural,” Pearl Jam’s most recent studio album, was released last March.

Singer-songwriter Shawn Colvin [ tickets ] returns with “Whole New You” (Columbia) this week, her first album of all new material since 1996’s “A Few Small Repairs.” The disc is the follow-up to her 1998 album “Holiday Songs and Lullabies,” a collection of covers.

Colvin will mark the release of her new disc with appearances on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” on Tuesday (3/27) and “The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn” on Wednesday (3/28). Also scheduled is an online chat with the singer on April 2, according to her official website.

The platinum-certified “A Few Small Repairs” features Colvin’s breakthrough single, “Sunny Came Home,” which peaked at No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in July 1997. The track went on to win in both the Song of the Year and Record of the Year categories at the 40th annual Grammy Awards.

Buckcherry [ tickets ] offers up “Time Bomb” (DreamWorks) this week, the follow-up to the group’s self-titled 1999 debut. The disc features the L.A.-based rock band’s latest single, “Ridin’,” which has climbed to No. 7 on trade publication Radio & Records’ latest rock national airplay chart.
