Smashing Pumpkins Recording Sessions Wiki

## Introduction

The Smashing Pumpkins Recording Sessions attempts to chronicle the recordings
of The Smashing Pumpkins, including: studio recording sessions, home and studio
demos and radio sessions.  It also collects a number of articles and interviews pertaining to the specific sessions. This wiki
has been compiled from a number of sources, often my own
speculation; if you have any information that could be useful in the SPRS, please
e-mail me.

The Smashing Pumpkins Recording Sessions was originally compiled in 1996;
it was finally uploaded onto the World Wide Web two years later, in the January
of 1998.  It was absorbed into the Smashing Pumpkins Fan Collaborative in 2000. The original format of the SPRS was
inspired the Nirvana Recording Sessions and Song List, by John Loughney. The current wikia format, created January 2018, will allow more information for individual entries. The SPRS is maintained by Jesse Miller <soniclovenoize@hotmail.com>.

## History

Twenty years ago I compiled and uploaded version 1.0
of a file called The Smashing Pumpkins Recording Sessions.  It was intended to chronicle all of the band’s
studio recording sessions, home and studio demos,
radio sessions, TV performances and live shows that have been officially
released, as well as just a general compendium of trivialities and discussion
points.  It was based on information I
had gathered from many interviews, tape traders, insider-correspondence and of
course my own conjecture.  Over time,
errors were corrected and conjecture verified.
After working on this file for nearly 2 years (plus an additional year
and a half before it was even published), the final version 3.2 was uploaded in
August 2000.  Coinciding with the end of
the band itself, I relinquished command of this information and it was assimilated
into The Smashing Pumpkins Fan Collaborative.
The band was gone and I honestly didn’t think much more of it.

Even though the Smashing Pumpkins ceased to exist, we did see the idea
of the Smashing Pumpkins continue on: a new project called Zwan with half of
The Pumpkins; a Billy Corgan solo album; the rebirth of the band with only half
the original members; the second rebirth of the band with only one original member;
more Billy Corgan solo albums.  But more
interestingly, we’ve seen the emergence of specific bootlegs that were previously just mythology
in the mid-90s; music I only wrote about amidst a long list of data and rumor.

The most import event however might have been the remaster campaigns in
the 2010s of Gish, Siamese Dream, Pisces Iscariot, Mellon Collie and The Infinite
Sadness, The Aeroplane Flies High and Adore.
With a combined bonus content to that of nearly 17 discs, the campaign
also contained something valuable to this nut concerned with minutia: more
detailed liner notes and recording credits!
 Since I was now in a position to correct
much of my old vague data and educated guesses with specifics from the reissue
set, as well as verifying other data from since-emerged bootlegs, it seemed
like an appropriate time to revise this damned thing, almost twenty years after
it first started.
