rarities & b-sides (download only) is that a sp \"release\"?

[bobbintb]

hi again. yesterday i was searching for bullet train and came across the rarities and b-sides download. i checked here and there and its offered on a few websites, for extremely different prices. but when i checked if this is a real sp release, i couldnt find it, only on spfc. its not on here, and not even the pumpkins website puts it in their discography! but on here i found the promo cd http://www.spfreaks.com/Default.aspx?pa … &item=3155 , so it looks like its not fake anyway?

Hey Orchid
I have that promotional single you’re referencing… Because Virgin made a promotional CD for it, I’d consider it an actual release. Isn’t there a date on the CD promo? Like a release date?

Anyway, I’ve also seen on eBay posters for it. Virgin promotional posters. So, yes, I consider it an official release, although, it’s digital. Makes you wonder how do you buy a legitimate copy?

i believe that may be an official release…
i think the one you are referring to is the download only version? with over a hundred songs on it?
even if it’s not official (which i believe it is, as i think its on itunes) it’s bloody good value! it’s nwar comprehensive on nearly all pumpkins b-sides rarities!

cool manilla! kinda rare promo i guess? and i think it’s a genuine release also, but why isn’t it on the discography? i mean, even spfreaks doesnt have it (while spfc has it if i’m right), and the pumpkins dont have it either on their website?

I don’t know. Guess it falls into some sort of gray area. It’s a digital release. It’s kind of weird. The Smashing Pumpkins did it again though. They released Zeitgeist (blue edition …. oooooooo…) on ITunes. Also an Australian ITunes edition w/ two bonus tracks. I don’t get it. But, I really think they should somehow be classified as official releases.

This is a pretty cool topic with an in-depth discussion, to my opinion. We might consider reserving a page on http://www.SPfreaks.com for each individual downloadable release. I will create another topic where you can post all Smashing Pumpkins releases that are officially (!) available as a download.

if youre referring to the ones thats over 100 tracks, yes it is an official release. it was an online only catalog. however, i believe almost all those tracks are available on other lossless medium.
