We all want to show off sometimes. MonteLDS got his 15 minutes of collecting fame on SP.com ( http://www.smashingpumpkins.com/news_2478 ) and was praised by the webmasters & some members over there. It is indeed a pretty cool Smashing Pumpkins collection, though it can use some upgrading on the rarities. Nevertheless, it inspired me to have my little show off moment also. A few things are missing on this pic; some posters like 3 different Gish-es & some concert posters (still needs to be framed), few guitar picks (too small) and my 17 other boxes stuffed with Smashing Pumpkins CDs & DVDs. If somebody’s interested, I could take a seperate pic of that 750 something CDs & DVDs also. Now I only showed (most, not all) Zeitgeist CDs and its singles on the floor, and 6 boxes with US and UK silver disc releases on the right. The rest of the stuffs you most probably recognize, otherwise: ask.
Anyway, fellow-collectors… Bring in your pics! Show off moment has arrived!

It’s a UK subway poster, rather widely available still. MonteLDS has 1 also if I’m right, but it could be a smaller version also. The frame is actually about ten times the price of the poster.
But yeah, it’s huge, quite an eyecatcher in the hallway now. My girlfriend suggested we should have a special Smashing Pumpkins music room when we move to another house in 2008/2009! 
My most precious things on the pic are actually quite small, it are the 2 smaller posters on top of the b/w TAFH poster. On the right a priceless 1991 Cabaret Metro poster ( http://www.spfreaks.com/Default.aspx?pa … &item=1032 ), on the left an astonishing beautiful, numbered (2/3) pic of Billy Corgan during a 1991 Canadian concert. It’s the most awesome pic of Billy I have ever seen. And I’m kinda proud of the 2 sales awards also of course, especially the TAFH one. And I just have to mention the b/w framed Metro ad (taken from a Chicago newspaper) on the left back side also, about the Metro thanking SP for 13 incredible years in 2000. It’s got a sky-high emotional value.
When will we see pics of your collection Cool As Ice Cream? Same for Sven, jgfox, manillascissor, toad32r and others? I’m sure they will be just awesome also, and will beat my pic hands down.

Awesome photos! Some really nice Cassettes! Very impressive. Even have the TEITBITE 7" promo. Very nice.
Is this your entire collection? Can’t be.[/quote:10imfclj]
This is my complete collection, apart from some compilation CD, common album CDs and common DVDs
I started collecting vinyl first, especially the rare ones. After that came the more common stuff.
I don’t collect posters, t-shirts or awards…although I see some nice items in Arthur’s pictureMarc

So, are you still collecting? If not, are you selling? You have multiple items I’d be interested in. I’m still nowhere near complete with mine. I imagine you are not interested in selling, just thought I’d ask.

[/quote:3n4yrdsa]I’m still collecting, but not really actively. I started collecting Zeitgeist related items, but I don’t feel the need to buy all different versions of Zeitgeist. I’m still looking for some older items like:
– Tristessa 7"pink
– Rocket australian cd single
– Siva australian cd/ tapeThe first 2 are not very hard to find, so I’ll eventually buy them sometime

meh. i’ve seen better.
just kidding
pretty damn cool. but try it again, but with all your other stuff!
and by the way, i just realised something. on your ‘adore’s they usually have black/no stickers saying ‘smashing pumpkins’. however, in some of the HMV’s i’ve vistited i’ve noticed that the sticker is a pale brown/creamy white colour, not black. my Adore has the black sticker and no, i’m not going to buy this different stickered version because i really need to keep my money for something else. i was just wondering if anyone else was aware of this, and if this little bit of info was useful? (i checked the collection, and have not found an Adore that has been stickered like this)

Hey Breun
You should post this suggestion in the Tips and Techs for SPFreaks.com. I think if you post this idea there as well, it may get more consideration? Anyway, just a thought.I think it’s a good idea though. However, if implemented, it would take away the anonimity that currently exists on this site. The anonimity is there to protect people who would rather not be connected to the scans that they have provided, or let anyone know exactly what they may have.
I agree though, it would be cool to have a place, or a tool rather, to use to chronicle your own personal collection. I think an easy alternative would be to use Excel and just post links in there. That’s actually what I started doing. I take a release, give it a title, country, matrix codes, whatever else, and then put a link in the last column to reference it. You could even go so far as to import the images into the Excel document.
Once you have this, in order to share your personal collection with someone, you just send them an Excel file. Which is nice, because it’s not super-large.
Also, I could see some people coming on here, claiming that they have everything. What good would that do? What do you think Breun?
-
It would be cool if you could log in and maintain a list of your collection on SPfreaks. Go to an item in the discography and click ‘I have this’ (or even ‘X copies’) and maybe also an option to share your list with other users. Just an idea.[/quote:1h02jvqf]
i have been thinking about the same thing for a while now. could be a nice extra to this site. -

This is on our wishlist of future development breun, EXACTLY this cool idea. Let’s say there might be something coming soon, in which this feature might be nicely fitting. I hope I can announce something about it here in December that might surprise us all. No promises however, as I have my first face-to-face meeting about it on December 1. Let’s see how that goes, fingers crossed.And please don’t forget, this whole SPfreaks thing is a voluntary job for everybody involved… It takes a lot of time sometimes, developing new features, especially this one. I guess you know how it works, running your own website also… But I’m glad your idea already gets support from some other members here!

Created a new topic on the proper forum for this. Please add your other ideas over there, OK? Thanks!

whoa! That’s awesome!
Heh, i like that SP have not only used the font from the ‘nightmare before christmas’ (MCIS font), but have also included one of it’s characters on their posters (barrel – the kid with the lollipop)
[/quote:hea1ht95]Who is Barrel? Never heard of him before…
Also, many of these posters are from concert poster artists, so the font used was entirely up to them, not SP. But you’re right, some did choose to carry the font over to the poster.
-
it’s sad that your pink sub pop one is folded in two.
or in four even; i can’t really tell from the pictures.
coolest poster ever though.[/quote:2vywhvd9]It’s folded twice, which makes four quadrants. And yes, it SUCKS!!! But that’s how it was shipped to me and it’s still in great condition minus the folding. If I had extra money, I’d have it framed and have the folds removed through poster restoration. Or just buy another one when it comes up (which is rarely).
And I agree, I think that’s the coolest pic of Corgan ever.
-
I wonder if the colleagues said \"you ARE hardcore!\" also.
Cool stuff manillascissor!I recently acquired the white Caroline promo poster for Gish, in a really great shape. But unfortunately it was folded once. Last weekend I took it to a pro framing shop and they will glue it to cardboard before they frame it. Like this the \"damage\" of the folding will (almost) disappear I hope. I thought it was the best way to preserve this nice (and cheap anyway) poster… Otherwise I would never advise to do this.
-
All the collegues were gone. Twas afterhours.
I think if you go to a poster restoration specialist, (possible online?), they have other methods to remove folds. I imagine it’s pricy, but the technology exists. I know some older (1920s-30s) movie posters from Hollywood fetch a pretty penny once restored, so investing in the restoration makes the price skyrocket.
Obviously though, in this case, it would not make sense to invest in such pricy repair. But adhering to cardboard isn’t a bad idea, especially considering the relatively modest cost of the poster itself.
The poster I have pictured that says \"Smashing Pumpkins\" in big red Siamese Dream font is glued to thick cardboard-like material. Like styrofoam. Not entirely sure if this is how it came originally or not, as I’ve never seen another one for comparison.

lots of cool posters that i had, magazines, and this one really got me my vinyl of SD. i just about died on that one, and other just random stuff i had, luckly i had my cd’s with me. but she went through and got rid of so much stuff, it makes me sad sad sad, i had tons of other cool stuff too, like a salior moon shirt that she said shrunk in the wash, don’t belive her on that. but what i had was a way cool start to a huge collection. and when i got some new stuff recently and showed it to her, she was like \"NOOOO\" i could have slaped her, but she is my mom, and i am still afraid of her a little, and i can’t slap her, so….

what do you mean with "seed properly" and why only seed it properly in the future? will you first seed it inproperly?[/quote:6l5ukbhs] As Arthur said – he was talking about torrents. They are a special type of P2P download. To "seed" a torrent is to upload the file. You seed when you first create the file, but also as you’re downloading it – you send up the data that you’ve downloaded. It’s just a system to make downloads faster for people. (There’s also leeching, where you download without seeding.)
Torrents are more common with larger file sizes – such as high quality album copies, huge photo collections etc.

It’s actually a framed t-shirt from the MCIS Tour. I was luck since my grandma was good friends with D’arcy’s grandma, so I got to go backstage. I ended up with2 t-shirts. One James signed \"for Robert, James\" and the other is signed \"James\", Billy and D’arcy also signed the t-shirts. I attached 2 photos that were also given to myself and my grandma \"Betty\" from D’arcy. The last photo is a signed \"The Future Embrace\" Cd I got signed in St. Louis and \"Blinking with Fists\" which a good friend got signed for me in Chi-town. let me know if you want any better pics for the site.

I think i’m the running for the most stupid buyer of the year:

Did you know that’s a bootleg? It’s very rare, but very unofficial.

I looked but couldn’t find anything, ah well, it’s too late now. I had some bad feelings, especially at that price. What the hell was i thinking?[/quote:3mr5paj9]
Arthur, The SPfreaks Preacher Man:The OFFICIAL Moon tape is on the site, with rather clear pics and everything. The Cassettes section shows EVERY other known OFFICIAL promo/demo tape of the Pumpkins, just to avoid any confusion between hardcore collectors like you and me and many others. So anything else being offered to you that looks differently like what we show on the site here should make you very suspicious, at least! Then asking a question here on the forum will always help, as you can see in the history of the forum.
Anyway Rocket Baby Dolls… At least you can help us now with making clear scans and provide the first item in the new section Cassettes (Non-Official). Should make you proud also, in a weird sense, right?
-
That’s right Arthur, i took a hit for the team
You know what, i even looked at the official tape on here, saw the concerts on the tape, which one was the wrong year, and everything on the cassetteis incomplete anyway, and nothing even registered.
I could of put that money aside to pay for the Limited Potential I Am One or the Pisces 12\" + 7\"…
You’ve got to laugh really
-
It’s still a really neat item Rocket, even if it’s a boot. The only reason I know it’s a boot is because when the seller originally listed it over $400, in the description was KTS, which I remember is Kiss The Stone. They’ve made plenty of (very cool) silver bottomed bootlegs in the past.
So anyway, lot of money, but whatever. Win some, lose some.
-
yup it’s a bootleg alright
but i think it was one of the first instances back in the days we found the recordings of the 1990 show contained in this tape.although shit’s fucked up-
900616 – Club de Wash, Madison, Wisconsin:
Tristessa, Snail, Rhinoceros, I Am One, Window Paine, Razor, Honeyspider
911016 – Oscar Meyer Theater, Madison, Wisconsin:
[…] Window Paine, Bury Me, Siva, Snail […]so—
Madison is close to Illinois…
Both live recordings are from Madison….
Bonus cuts include some demo’s from the early days…
I’d say someone got a hold of the live-tapes thru trading or even the tapes himself…
Bought a demotape (Moon) at one of the early shows (could they have had Moon tapes left in june 90???) and made himself/herself a little bit of a money maker thing somewhere somehow…
What I am most curious about is the sleeve shot photo which looks pretty much old skool back in the dayzzzzz….and—
is there any mention of KTS/Kiss the Stone as they were Italy based and it would be pretty special for them to have been into tape bootlegging then and to release a tape bootleg as early in TSP’s carreer as let’s say 1991/early 1992… just wondering… -

i started collecting since 1983. i was the one who pushed billy to start a successful band. otherwise my collection of hair locks and billy boogers would remain rather worthless.[/quote:23qcx759]
I didn’t start collecting quite that soon, however I do have his last soiled diaper from ’70. It’s the holy grail of my collection.

My parents asked Billy’s parents to have a son, so their oldest son could have a silly collecting hobby later.
Then, in 1967, they send my parents a tape with some crying baby sounds. Funny thing is, so far they don’t want to give that tape to me, to add to my collection.
So my only serious frustration in life is… am I mentioned in their will?
Really, it makes me having sleepless nights.

Hey welcome some pumpkins! I’m sure someone here got that, as I remember someone posted his vinyl and that pink vinyl was between there. It must be somewhere between the pics in this topic.Oh by the way blueczarina, I only collect silver discs (cds & dvds) officially, as ordered by Billy Corgan. When I send him an envelope to put his hair in when he decided to get bold, he thought it was about time to stop me, and set some limits. Since then I (kinda) stick to these limits.

New here, but been collecting SP for a while.
Think I got some stuff not mentioned/pictuerd here. Will look it up more closely.
Just amazing to see more people with same interestA question:
I got a couple of 12\" with \"I am One\", hut sleeve and no print on the inner.
The colour differs from one side and the other. One side is redish and one side is yellowish.
Any Idea what it is?
Looks like this but with the redish/yellowish side.

saw a link from a person selling on ebay.
Searched a lot on SP and discography but I’ve never seen this site.
Maybe the webadmin should add some keywords for searshing??
living in a summerhouse now for the summer but will be back tom my home now and then. Will try to get pictures or scan of some of my records/CDs. I don’t really collect so many other stuff from pumpkins anymore but I got a bunch of posters and an original litography from MACHINA, signed by Kafanov. -

is the "red" label similar to the "pink" labels or is it more red?can you make pictures of both sides and post them here?
what is engraved into the vinyl near the label (matrix code)?
you say you have a couple of copies. where did you find them?

Think it is more pink. I will make pictures of them. Perhaps I’ll get that done on monday.
I’ll check the Matrix then too, but I think it is the standard HUTLPxx (17?)
One I bought from a seller in nederland and one of ebay. -
ah, so you also speak dutch? (i do, i’m from belgium. brugge.)
the matrix codes on the commercial release and on the white label promo release (with pink labels) are HUTT-18 A1 and HUTT-18 B1. i expect the matrix codes on your copies to be identical.
i should see some pictures first, but right now i’d say it’s probably the same white label promo release, but with other colours used for the labels.
does the yellow look like this? or more (harder) yellow? http://www.spfreaks.com/Default.aspx?pa … &item=2029
-
sorry to dissapoint you, I don’t speak dutch, I’m Swedish….
What I think is that the colour is like the one you showed me.
Now I really would like to get home to get some picures/scans……
One of the copies is clean but on the other someone has written Smashing Pumpkins on the label.
I got Cherub Rock with white label and Peel Sessions also. The peel sessions got a foldover cover that got the same print as the regular release but it’s a different sort of paper. -

Yes, thanks.
I also tried to enhance the edges and other stuff but I didn’t get too good result.
I was sort of in a hurry when I got to photo my vinyl.
I have made a doc-file from the information available from spfc.org.
For my own sake I made it. Now I can get in to the document and \"redmark\" all the records that I own.
If somebody is interested in it (a clean version) I can make it available.
Here is my collection. Most of it anyway. Some of the items I got is not listed, yet.
I haven’t edited the newest information (Zeitgeist for example)http://www.iha.nu/Filer/SP_discography_ … 20Egen.doc
The file is about 15-16 Mb

You might be very happy in a few months when you happen to stick around here JamesIha! RedWolf, the programmer of this all, has almost finished a collectors feature called My Collection. He is extremely busy on another IT project (that even pays! ) so it’s set back big time unfortunately. But someday soon it will be finished, I’m sure. Read a little bit more about it here: -

Arthur is correct. The discs marked with red is the ones I own.
Thanks for help with the linking.The \"My collection\" thing seems great.
The thing with my word-file is that I have a printout that I can carry with me on recordmarkets and other locations where I may find a SP record. Then I can see if I own it or not. It’s hard to keep track of all numbers in the head….. -

Yeah, very true, I always have the same issues. Searching on eBay and then Alt-Tab back to SPfreaks.com is not a big deal, but every now and then I go to record fairs also. Mostly they have no wireless hotspot nor a little internet cafe. And that’s how I get doubles in my collection, when I forget my paper list…Since I got a little PDA phone I can go to SPfreaks.com anyway sometimes, that’s pretty neato! I even post on the forum here sometimes from my PDA!
-
OK, now I wold like to say I’m sorry….
I got home and looked at my albums better and the \"odd\" engraving is on my Cherub Rock white labele promo…..
Still I think it’s interesteing to find out what this engarving is.
I will get more pictures up but I now see what the end says. \"clarie\" The first two letters are TA or JAAnyone knows anything about a claire working whit the pressing?
Then again, what does it mean that my \"I am one\" got two different colours?
And one thing too. The white pressings, they are a bit blueish ??, just a little bit??

Nice nice nice… You seem to have found a one-off TAFH vinyl box? And vinyl in a cassette box?
Seriously, do I see a Zeitgeist watermarked promo there too? Good find if so. I still don’t have it yet.
And how do you keep & order it? I order my collection by country, and within country I order by year.

HOLY SHIT!

The thing is,i remember seeing MCIS in the shops when it was out and thinking,\"the mini-disc thing’ll never take off\".I’m regreting it now,though.

Okay, so there are only like 2 SP t-shirts, but I thought it would be fun to show off our band/concert T-shirt collection
(I digitally added that one NFG at the top right… and did a bad job at that) The Summer Krush doesn’t really count… but it’s the show that the Smashing Pumpkins were playing at… so I consider it a Smashing Pumpkins concert shirt.
Missing (that I can think of):
2 Transition (one signed)
4 Weezer (blue dancing girls, Green Album, and red tank/hoodie, old Weezer 22)
1 old Zero SP shirt
1 Dashboard confessional hoodie
1 No Doubt -
-
-
Here’s most of my collection that comes in cardboard sleeves or w/ paper inserts. These are my absolute favorite to collect, as they look like little 7\" vinyls.
Missing is my UK Machina II promo set, Live Bercy 2D FR promo, and my Zeitgeist UK album promo. Don’t know where these are at the moment. Which is annoying and a little scary too.

I always love swooning at this thread.
Imho, manillascissor currently owns one of the finest SP collections in the world today.
Arthur and Cake are good contenders also, along with a few people I’ve spoken to who aren’t yet natives of the SPfreaks Freakieland (I’m working on it!).
My collection’s 100% frozen where it is, as in I simply can’t continue at this point in my life.
For a while it was upsetting, until I came to realise that every single item’s a gem in their own right. Everything counts.
Looking forward to more posts in the future, make me envious and proud, they are your FPOs (Fellow Pumpkin Orders).

Manilla fantastic collection.
I went to the record store again yesterday no SP vinyls and an overpriced Zeitgeist cd 17 bucks, and a MCIS tape that was 5.99 but shitty..Plus I have that at my mom’s anyways. Got to sift through some cool albums though. I forgot how much fun it is looking at records in a record store. Especially the ones that I loved as a child..it was enjoyable even without a purchase -

I think it should have come with the Machina album only? I don’t know… But if I use the little French that I know and try to read the booklet, it is promoting the Machina album. Anyway, check yourself…

Hehe. I did it the other way round: first build up a Smashing Pumpkins collection, then choose my girlfriend. So she knew already my whole appartment is stuffed with Pumpkins posters, pictures and sales awards. And with \"whole\" I mean: living room, dining room, hallway, bedroom and hobbyroom. I even used to have a framed Chicago newspaper poster (the thanks for 13 incredible years Metro ad/poster from 2000) in the bathroom and some newspaper articles and concert tickets in the \"little room\", but I moved those items to the living. The poster is now inside the fireplace in the living and the tickets are in the closet with my Smashing Pumpkins cd & dvd collection. There you go.
But, of course, I don’t want to annoy my girlfriend with my hobby too much. So, if she suggests that an item should move, I’m fine with it without complaining. But so far she didn’t ask such a thing. Furthermore, she also suggested that if we ever move to a bigger appartment or landed property, that I will have my dedicated music room for my Smashing Pumpkins stuffs. I think that is very cool & considerate of her.

EazyE121 How long did the Ikea shelf take to put together or were you lucky and it was already assembled?
It’s so perfect in there-you must not have children[/quote:r6sq417e]It didn’t come together
But took about 45 minutes to figure it out. It was also missing some pieces so I had to call Ikea and they sent them to me extremely fast (like 2 days).And NO I do not have any kids, if I did they would be allowed close to my collection; I remember the things I destroyed when I was a kid and learned a lesson.

Jebus, it’s all Pumpkins! What do people say when they visit your place?[/quote:35gn6xgv]
if i walked into the house and it was all pumpkins i would be like that’s kick ass
i just have a big Gish poster on my wall and a couple smaller things above my bed and my "I Said Yes To the Mighty SP" button hanging on something on the table next to my bed. its nothing to major, but i don’t have room for all my stuff and i just have a bedroom and a bathroom because i’m living at home while i’m in school. it saves me a crap load of money.
someday i would like to frame my posters though. i just have too many other posters and artwork on the side.
i tend to hoard pictures and posters. -

I have plenty of other things in my basement too. So needless to say, but it not all pumpkins
I am a big fan of Ryan Adams and the Beatles. I use to be big into the Counting Crows, but that has faded a bit. Anyways, I have stuff of theirs all over the place too. -
-
he’s even got a shirt
I’m scared of Ikea for the fact of putting things together-It would be me doing it and I actually don’t like to that stuff, but no one else seems to have a clue around here about putting things together or fixing things-you’d think I was the man around here
Either way it’s a cool shelf full of Pumpkinny music, I can’t wait for my children to grow… and the sunlight thing-yeah I wouldn’t want to ruin any Pumpkin stuff…store lights do that too! -

I have wanted to post in this thread for a very long time. I finally devoted a weekend to gather and properly photograph my collection. The 35 pics include everything I have except for 20 or so posters, a Machina Cardboard CD display and my SP scrapbook. I have plans to (sometime soon) make a framed display from the Siamese Dream set list and autographed drum sticks and drum head. I used to have many more shirts but I had completely worn them out over the past ten years. A good friend of mine has been telling me to get a bunch of Pumpkins shirts from ebay so she can make me an SP quilt. If that happens I will be sure to post photos as well. I love this band and see them every opportunity I get.

Hi Kylie and welcome
You probably have one of the most beautiful collections ive ever seens, very impressiv really. [/quote:3gv6fey9]
I second every word of this.kylie, maybe you want to start using the My Collection feature on our website, to keep track of your immense collection. You can also use it for creating a wantlist, and a list of items you are willing to trade/sell. If so, I’m sure you will run into items that are not in our online database.
It would be highly appreciated by me and the other collectors that use My Collection (a few 100 worldwide) if you could send us a pic of the missing item(s), so we can put it online? No rush of course, i can understand that you spend 16 hours a day enjoying that collection you have, and then the rest of the day is used for resting and sleeping, after all that excitement…
-
Because I am big on completion, I photographed all my posters and some misc. items that were left out the first time around. I even found some surprises I had forgotten about.

i feel like this was discussed somewhere before, but i can’t find the discussion. anyway, kylie, what is the story behind the bat strat in your case there? if i’m not delirious, it seems as though it’s left-handed and bystarlight.org claims it was used to record chimera?

I have been a fan of the pumpkins for a long time, especially the Siamese Dream era. I collect rare photos of the band from that era and I became fascinated with the bat strat. I am a guitar player and decided that I would try to replicate everything about that very special guitar. I wanted it to be as accurate as possible. I not only wanted to make an accurate reproduction but I also wanted to be able to play it as well.. and since I am a lefty it had to be done that way. I lucked out and found the neck on ebay right away. It was exactly what I wanted and, as luck would have it, the seller lived two miles from me (and I haven’t seen one since). I had the body made and painted by Warmoth. The pickups and tuning keys were perfect. The stickers were a little more tough. The bats are made by Frances Meyer. I happen to see those on ebay as well for a dollar a sheet. So I bought them and I haven’t seen them online since. They are so hard to find that I reproduced and printed more in case anyone was looking to make their own bat strat. The HONK sticker is from the record label Kranky. I contacted them and they said they haven’t had any of those stickers in 15 years, so I had to get creative. Using old photos and a few still shots from a 1993 concert, my friend and I were able to accurately recreate the sticker in Adobe Illustrator. We had a few printed up and it looked awesome. From time to time I take the guitar down and play some SP stuff. I can see why Billy loves it so much as it plays like a dream.
