Smashing Pumpkins Announce 30th-Anniversary 'Mellon Collie' Reissue With 1996 Live Tapes, Out Nov. 21

The set centers on newly unearthed 1996 tour recordings from the band's original lineup.

Overview

  • The release arrives in Super Deluxe 6LP, 4CD/SHM-CD and digital editions, with preorders available and shipping on November 21.
  • Bonus audio includes more than 80 minutes of previously unreleased performances from the 1996 Infinite Sadness tour.
  • Premium vinyl packages add a hardbound book with new Billy Corgan liner notes, a custom tarot deck and seven lithographs in a velvet slipcase with a cloth bag.
  • NME reports pricing at £398 for an autographed Super Deluxe, £274 for the Super Deluxe box and £40 for the 4CD set.
  • A preview track, Geek U.S.A. (Live in San Diego, 1/30/96), is out now, and Corgan calls the archival effort a labor of love tied to the era before the band split in 1996.
