Featured on thepumpkins.net, these are the earliest demos of Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, these are basically just Billy's voice with a guitar track, these recordings were also pressed on vinyl as Chicago Tapes and Unreleased Demos, but that isn't very special because it's mostly these MP3s pressed on a record and a few demos predating Gish, nothing new.
On an unrelated note: Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness is being re-released along with Adore, Pisces Icariot, Siamese Dream, and Machina, not at the same time, let's just hope we get a better quality transfer of this tape when the reissue comes out, it's supposed to come out on vinyl too, so that's a plus.
Anyway, I was looking for the full tape of this set, with Rotten Apples, Blank, Stumbeline, and thePumpkins.net state that these are the same as the studio versions, which is not true because I don't remember the studio versions having hiss, I suppose they *are* the studio versions, but different mixes, or because of the tape's age, they sound different and hissy...
You won't find these anywhere but here on this blog in a .rar, and before this very posting, these were available on RSPAA, which closed down many moons ago, but I found these in a torrent, which downloaded very slowly (About six days...Yeah...)
