Smashing Pumpkins' Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness getting a deluxe reissue
Seventeen years after it dominated modern-rock radio and MTV, Smashing Pumpkins’ Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness is getting a deluxe reissue. The remastered album will be available in several formats, including being spread across five CDs and a DVD, and should hit stores Dec. 4 in North America. To date, the record has sold over 10 million discs—or 5 million copies of the double CD, meaning it recently earned diamond certification from the RIAA.
The deluxe CD box set of the record comes complete with unreleased material and alternate versions of Mellon Collie songs, and the five CD/DVD version boasts both a live show filmed at London’s Brixton Academy and bonus performances from the German TV show Rockpalast. The record will also be available as a 4LP set, a 2CD set, or as a digital download.
A full tracklist for the five CD set is below.
The set also comes packaged with a Decoupage kit “for creating your own scenes from the Mellon Collie universe,” a feature that was allegedly dreamed up by Billy Corgan himself.
