March 1996 – Charing Cross Studios

The March 1996 Charing Cross Studios sessions produced basic tracks recorded in Australia, while The Smashing Pumpkins were on tour. It was the final recording session with Jimmy Chamberlin before his firing; ominously Jonathan Melvoin was present but did not perform. Further overdubs were recorded later in Chicago. They were mixed, along with "Eye", at Chung King Studios by Neil Perry.

March 1998 – Sound City

The March 1998 Sound City sessions is where the final song for Adore was recorded, infamously produced by Rick Rubin. It was taken off the album at the last second. The drums were provided by Joey Waronker from Beck's band.
The recording took place at Studio A at Sound City, coincidentally the room where Nirvana recorded Nevermind. The session began like much of the Adore sessions – trial and error. Corgan spent three hours with Rubin, aborting passes on the piano, unsuccessful attempts with tape speed and echo, before the band collectively decided the obvious: to play with each other in real time. Ultimately it took a whole night with 68 takes for the recording to be completed, editing a composite track from the best performances.David Fricke, "The Soft Parade", Rolling Stone, March 1998

March 2-3, 1995 – Pumpkinland

The March 2-3 sessions at Pumpkinland (the band's rehearsal space) took place just before The Smashing Pumpkins entered the studio to record Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness. Flood joined the band to run through all of the new material, with Pumpkinland outfitted with recording gear as a make-shift studio. This is probably the source for many of the "Pastichio Medley" songs, as many basic tracks for the Mellon Collie album were recorded here, as well as numerous jams and song sketches. The listing here is the contents of two days of rehearsal filmed for the MTV Rockumentary on The Smashing Pumpkins, sourced from the bootleg video called 666. Evidence suggests that video exists of "God" and "Rubberman" as well, since they appeared on the Rockumentary but not the 666 tape bootleg.

Marilyn Manson

Brian Hugh Warner (born January 5, 1969), known professionally as Marilyn Manson, is an American singer, songwriter, record producer, actor, painter, writer, and former music journalist. He is known for his controversial stage personality and image as the lead singer of the band of the same name, which he co-founded with guitarist Daisy Berkowitz in 1989 and of which he remains the only constant member. Manson co-headlined with The Smashing Pumpkins on 2015's The End Times tour, and he and Billy Corgan have co-performed a few times.
Corgan and Manson's friendship dates back to the late 1990s, with Corgan serving as an unofficial consultant for the band during the early development stages of Manson's 1998 album Mechanical Animals. After playing a few of the early songs for him, Corgan advised the band that "This is definitely the right direction" but to "go all the way with it. Don't just hint at it," referring to the album's glam rock production style. The album, produced by Manson, Sean Beavan and Michael Beinhorn, was released on September 15, 1998, and went on to debut at number one on the Billboard 200, with first week sales of 223,000.
Following the release of Mechanical Animals, the pair's personal and professional relationship soured. A fifteen-year-long feud allegedly stemmed from Corgan writing a "strongly worded" letter to Manson, in which he claimed that actress Rose McGowan – who Manson was engaged to at the time – would "ruin my life and my career if I stayed with her." Manson responded by telling Corgan that "it would be a good marketing idea [to sell] Charlie Brown T-shirts and bald caps at [his] concerts", due to their similarity in appearance.
The pair publicly settled their rift when Manson performed his own "Third Day of a Seven Day Binge" and the Smashing Pumpkin's "Ava Adore" at KOKO in London on December 5, 2014. They went on to perform the latter track again, when both bands appeared at the Australian music festival Soundwave.

Mark Ignoffo

Mark Ignoffo is a producer and engineer who worked with The Smashing Pumpkins during their sessions at Reel Time Studios in the late 1980s. He played a synthesized organ on the original 1989 recording of "Rhinoceros". Sometime after the sessions concluded, Ignoffo moved his studio to Florida.
As the story goes, Ignoffo was talking to a musician who insisted he meet an "incredible guitar player" named Billy Corgan, and that's how the collaboration began. The Pumpkins and Ignoffo worked together for about a year. In an interview with SPFreaks, Ignoffo said "I think to this day that [Corgan's] amp was one of the loudest I ever recorded in the studio".

Mark Stoermer

Mark August Stoermer (born June 28, 1977) is an American musician and songwriter. He is best known as the bassist for the rock band The Killers. 
In late 2014 and early 2015, Stoermer played bass guitar on tour with the Smashing Pumpkins along with Billy Corgan, Jeff Schroeder and Brad Wilk. A Smashing Pumpkins fan since his teen years, Stoermer received a call from Corgan – who had become a casual acquaintance after their respective bands played a few shows together in recent years – to join the touring line-up in support of the Smashing Pumpkins' then-new album Monuments to an Elegy. The strength of the new material convinced Stoermer to accept the offer. "In addition to the nostalgia aspect, I also had to hear the new music, which I think is great. If the new music wasn't up to par, I wouldn't be doing it. I felt like, yeah, it was one of those things I had to do", he said.
Stoermer played over two dozen shows with The Smashing Pumpkins, beginning with a November 26, 2014 show in Chicago and ending with an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on April 2, 2015. He also made a guest appearance at the famed 30th Anniversary Show on August 2, 2018.
Stoermer is also credited as an additional executive producer for The Smashing Pumpkins' 2020 live action music video for "Wyttch".

Mary Star of the Sea

Mary Star of the Sea is the only studio album by American alternative rock band Zwan. It was released on January 28, 2003. "Honestly" and "Lyric" were released as singles.
The album is named both for the Blessed Virgin Mary, from whom bandleader Billy Corgan claimed to find comfort and guidance, and for the Catholic Church in Key West, Florida where he spent time during Zwan's early rehearsals. Seven months after the album's release Corgan announced the band's dissolution, which he attributed to conflicts between the band's members. Many versions of the album included a small sticker sheet.
== Critical reception ==
The album received mostly positive reviews. Entertainment Weekly named Mary Star of the Sea the sixth best album of 2003. noting the "14 minutes of epic new-prog, with the guitars engaging in interstellar, improvisatory interplay" on the "Jesus I" / title track. The Alternative Press called the album a "return to form" for Corgan, with AllMusic opining the songs as Corgan's best since Siamese Dream. The album debuted at number 3 in the US, selling 90,000 copies in its first week.Martens, Todd. "Dixie Chicks Return 'Home' to No. 1". billboard.com. February 5, 2003.

Mashed Potatoes

"Mashed Potatoes" is a bootleg album of The Smashing Pumpkins. It contains an astounding 77 songs – many previously unreleased – spanning five CDs across the band's then five-year career. It has been called "The Great Lost Release" because it was widely known about but hard to find up until the 2000s.
It was originally released personally by Billy Corgan, who gave the less than 10 copies to friends of the band as a Christmas gift in 1994. Bassist D'arcy Wretzky had her own apparently different copy that was stolen, leaking a few more songs to the public. It wasn't until 2003 that the full box set made available on both CD and MP3 format, most likely by Corgan after Zwan disbanded.
The collection doesn't appear to have an intentional organization and largely unedited, containing peculiar changes from crafty songs to clips of interviews and stage humor. A wide range of genres can be found, with Goth-influenced songs like "Under Your Spell", "Bleed", and "Jennifer Ever". Other songs exposed Corgan's religious beliefs, such as "Jesus Loves His Babies", which didn't see an official release until the 2012 reissue of Gish. The album offers many demos of songs already familiar to fans such as an acoustic versions of "Rocket" (recorded live in a record store on the day of Siamese Dream's release), "Luna", while alternate versions of "Spaceboy", "Hello Kitty Kat" and the fan-favorite "Mayonaise".

May-September 2011 – Pumpkinland II

The May-September 2011 Pumpkinland II sessions were the proper recording sessions for the Oceania album. Inspired by the power of his new lineup of Jeff Schroeder, Nicole Fiorentino and Mike Byrne, Corgan wrote a new set of songs meant to be it's own entity, while still a part of the Teargarden by Kaleidyscope continuity – what Corgan called "an album within an album".

thumb|70's-era Stratocaster with DiMarzio pickups
Guitars used throughout Oceania vary song by song, the primary axe being recent-issue Fender Jaguars. On "Violet Rays", Corgan used a Reverend tuned to G. "Pinwheels" saw the use of a vintage Harmony with Alembic pickups. Other songs employed a mid-70's Stratocaster with DiMarzio pickups that he says is closest to his Gish-era Strat that was stolen in the '90s. On "Panopticon", Corgan used his Kimberly Bison guitar (nicknamed "Kimberly Kay"), which was also used on "Mayonaise" and "1979".https://glittercop.blogspot.com/2009/09/old-friend-stopped-by-studio-today.html Meanwhile "The Chimera" employed Corgan's famous Bat Strat.https://yourlifeisnotyourown.wordpress.com/2011/07/12/chimera-meets-billys-bat-strat/
An old Roland guitar synth pedal was used on "Glissandra", as well as a Boss pedal that acted like a whammy bar.Joe Bosso, "Billy Corgan talks The Smashing Pumpkins' Oceania track-by-track". MusicRadar, June 13, 2012 "It’s one of my favorite sounds on the record", Corgan told MusicRadar.
Oceania is noted for its use of VamPower amplifier with a fuzz mod. On "Quasar", a Marshall Super Tremolo amp was used with four rhythm guitars, while other guitars went through a Reeves Custom Jimmy head.
=== Bass ===
Prior to these sessions, Fiorentino typically played a Fender Precision bass, but "fell in love" with Fender Jazz basses that Corgan had lying around in the studio. She has said she used a 1963 Jazz bass on about 75% of the record.
For amps, she used a Reeves 400, along with a Mesa Big Block Titan head and a Mesa 8x10 cab. For effects, she employed a Electro-Harmonix Neo-Clone chorus, a Electro-Harmonix Bass Microsynth, and a Subdecay Baby Quasar (which was in fact used on "Quasar").

May 31, 1995 – Chicago Recording Company

The May 31, 1995 – Chicago Recording Company session produced a rough mix of Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, dubbed Sequence Four. In other words, this tape was basically what Mellon Collie sounded like as of May 31st. The songs vary in completion– while "Here Is No Why" is the same take featured on the final album (save for a different vocal take), some songs were rerecorded entirely. Notably, both "Galapogos" and "To Forgive" featured solos that were omitted from the final versions.
Recordings of the session have circulated around on a bootleg titled Sequence IV, albeit with significant noise reduction.
