Notes

This release can be differentiated from Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness by the matrix/runout info and the increased amount of dead wax on each side. It was first silently released to retailers in late 2014 or early 2015 and corrected the inner groove distortion problems of the aforementioned release.

Reissue with updated art on the box and on the inner sleeves. Includes a 36-page full-color art book featuring band member notes, photos, and credits, and a 28-page lyric book with illustrations.

    5/5 Sounds so good. Honestly not even the biggest fan of Pumpkins but saw this for a steal at a local record shop and jumped on it. After a spin through I gotta say I've been sleeping on this album since I was a kid and this pressing sounds fantastic.

      Why did Billy not include the Infinite Sadness (instrumental track) on this release is weird, as it is such a beautiful song? As it is only featured on vinyl as the last track of the 3xLP Re-release of Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness 2009. And was recorded during the Siamese Dream sessions with Butch Vig.

        Really a terrible sounding record. It’s so murky and compressed. Think 8-track.

                Stunning pressing. Quiet when it needs to be quiet, raw and visceral when it needs to be punchy. Clearer sounding and more lively than the old CD.

                  I bought mine as part of the 2022 restock. It has hype sticker on the front, no “made in canada” on the back, with poly sleeves, and normal G-H labels.

                    The last truly great album of the rock era gets the proper vinyl treatment in this beautiful package. Sounds and looks terrific.

                      I’ve just gotten my 2022 repress today. I can confirm my copy came with a “Made In Canada” sticker on the back and the records did not come with poly sleeves.

                      I believe this to have been pressed at Microforum in Canada and as such, it should have its own entry I would think.

                      This is not the Pallas pressed edition.

                      So far, it does sound incredible tho.
