About the item

The Smashing Pumpkins' career-defining, multi-platinum selling masterpiece Mellon Collie & The Infinite Sadness has been remastered and made available as an expanded 5CD+DVD deluxe set. The set includes the original album remastered, plus 64 bonus tracks of previously unreleased material or alternate versions of Mellon Collie era songs, and DVD featuring the live show filmed at the Brixton Academy, London (1996) and bonus performances from Rockpalast (1996). Also included in the deluxe lift-top box are two books containing personal notes, lyrics, new collage artwork plus a Decoupage kit for creating scenes from the Mellon Collie universe. Press Reviews Classic Rock – Jan 2013 – 7/10 “Billy Corgan’s ambitions reached their zenith with this swollen double album.” Q – Jan 2013 - **** “A blissful blip that produced one of the ‘90s’ finest rock albums.” BBC Review ---------- Billy Corgan doesn’t do small gestures. The Smashing Pumpkins’ ringleader – and the circus analogy is apt given this band's history – desired a debut that’d find its place amongst the greats. But although 1991’s Gish was certainly bold, it was 1993’s Siamese Dream that elevated his band to the global stage. And how to follow up one prog-pop-rock odyssey? With another twice as long, naturally. Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness: the title’s clunky, but it’s got nothing on the contents. Split into ‘Dawn to Dusk’ and ‘Twilight to Starlight’ discs, its 28 tracks are actually the result of a substantial editing process, the band having recorded over 50 for potential inclusion. Which goes some way to explaining the epic scale of this reissue. Amongst its 64 extras are a strings-free Tonight, Tonight and an acoustic version of Thru the Eyes of Ruby. These rough(er) mixes and skeletal(ish) sketches are interesting ins – but only a true fan will resist the lure of the skip button. Corgan argued 1995’s double-disc effort wasn’t a concept album, but there’s certainly a thematic back, which the frontman summarised as a farewell to his youth. The impudence of a title like F*** You (An Ode to No One) can only come from regression into teenage angst. Stylistically, Mellon Collie is all over the place. Building-razing rockers rub shoulders with piano ballads, heartfelt confessionals with overblown bombast. It showcases this band at both its best and worst; and such is the variety that no two fans are likely to have the exact same favourite tracks. Lead single Bullet With Butterfly Wings is raw and rugged; while the woozy, romantic Lily (My One and Only) is a track of real tenderness. The charming 1979, the final song recorded for this album, almost didn’t make the cut at all – which would have been madness, as it’s brilliant. Stumbleine is a bare-d voice-and-guitar piece, but the ugly squall of X.Y.U. threatens to pop one’s speakers irreparably. The electronic thuds of Beautiful, meanwhile, foreshadow the digital design of 1998’s follow-up LP, Adore. The best track remains Tonight, Tonight – with its string section present, it’s almost untouchably perfect. Mellon Collie is no masterpiece, but its ambition is clearer than anything else Corgan has ever been involved with. It’s the grandest of Pumpkins gestures, expensive and infuriating and inspirational – and just occasionally capable of tossing the listener around like a ragdoll. --Mike Diver Find more music at the BBC ( http://www.bbc.co.uk/go/syn//albumreviews/-/music/ ) This link will take you off in a new window
