Smashing Pumpkins / Mellon Collie six-disc deluxe set on the way

The Smashing Pumpkins are set to reissue their 1995 opus, Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness on 3 December as a six disc box set (5CD+DVD) and a four LP vinyl set.

The Deluxe Box Set’s 5 CDs include 64 bonus tracks of previously unreleased material or alternate versions of Mellon Collie-era songs, and its DVD features a live show filmed at the Brixton Academy, London (1996) and bonus performances from the German music television show Rockpalast (1996).

This content comes housed in a 12 x 12 lift-top box with magnetic closure and velvet-lined disc holder. The package includes 2 books containing personal notes, lyrics, new collage artwork, plus a Decoupage kit for creating your own scenes from the Mellon Collie universe. The bonus content and special features were curated from the band’s archives by Billy Corgan and remastered for the first time from the original master tapes by Bob Ludwig.

Like the Gish and Siamese Dream reissues, Mellon Collie has reimagined cover art with titles removed. The 4LP vinyl version will come as some relief to fans who missed out the first time around, since the original 3LP release goes for extremely high prizes on the used market. The vinyl release will have the original record spread over eight sides of 180g vinyl for optimum sound.
