Please upload some full pictures of the cassette when you can, I’d be curious to see the rest of it, since the seller only showed the front.
As for me, I’ve been on a buying binge of late. I don’t want to spoil the surprise, but I will tease one item that is being shipped to me currently. It is rare, it isn’t on this site, and it is the 3rd "version" out there and I wasn’t aware of it, until I was sent a picture of it and yelled "holy shit!" at my monitor.

Yes, I can hardly wait to see the rest myself, so I’ll share soon as it comes in! Very curious as well what you found!

There are some promos that are edited to differing track lengths as well, but they are essentially the same song, maybe just a little longer or shorter in length by a few seconds or two. It’s actually really hard to follow.
Stupid question, but since there are so many Machina promos out there, is there anything that differentiates the promos with the Alternate version of AOI versus those promos that don’t?
I guess I was wondering if there is anything I could spot that would let me know if I came across it on a website that would make me immediately know that was the one or not.
Any help would be appreciated.[/quote:1ilfwe9t]
I think Mayonaise owns one. Which one is it again, Mayo?
On a sidenote, the UK Untitled in-house 3trk promo features a version with a drum/bass intro, truly different than other versions that I know of. It’s not on RSPAA, for example.
the truth hurts.
i went and reread that and i like it, although i have no idea what i was trying to convey.

[Chorus] (x3.5)Melissa, the Zwan members (included just because), Lisa, etc?
I heard Melissa was actally good, but I’ve still yet to own anything or hear anything she’s ever written. I feel like just because these people were in the Smashing Pumpkins, I don’t really care what they do after they leave. I have no interest in Lisa’s new Jazz album, who cares?
Even former official members, James and Jimmy. I honestly don’t give two hoots about their solo albums. I semi enjoyed Iha’s Be Strong Now, as it was a temporary departure from the Pumpkins. Lately, members are leaving and never coming back, to do something different than be a Pumpkin. I don’t know if I’m making any sense here, but bottom line I guess is that it’s always been about Billy Corgan for me. He’s always been the main driving force behind the band.
The only thing that scares me a little is Billy without Jimmy. He’s done it before, to great critical success with Adore, but I wonder if that was a fluke. And Billy has done a solo album which I find tremendously enjoyable, but I don’t want Smashing Pumpkins to sound like that.
Nor do I want more American Gothic acoustic happy shit. I guess I’m hard to please, it would seem I can’t win. I just hope Billy is able to succeed on his own, a part of me feels sorry for him, like all his friends turned their backs on him and he doesn’t know why. I’ve had that happen to me before and the feeling is horrible.
But back on track, if you’re not in the Pumpkins or coming back, go to hell.
[/quote:v3fbh4ag]I pretty much am in agreement with this.
I feel, as you, that SP = BC. Everyone else are contributors and/or along for the ride.
I would take exception to your comment about Adore possibly being a fluke. A tthe time, after his mother died, he made a very emotional, personal album. Which is a very deep album that requires dozens of listening attempts to fully appreciate, in my opinion. Could he do it again? Absolutely. But if you look at some of the recent stuff FOL, GLOW, etc., I don’t think he will go down an "Adore" road for a new album.
Some of the American Gothic stuff is good and remember, anything acoustic can always be turned electric live, so there is hope there.
As for me, I’ve only followed Zwan (who I liked a lot and hope that some more rarities come out down the road) and Billy’s solo album, TFE, which is good. When you state that you don’t want the Pumpkins to sound like that, you could argue that Eye and Saturnine were very close to the TFE framework.
But at the end of the day, SP is a rock band and Billy seems to want to continue to rock. As long as he does, then I’m happy and content.
Finally, on a side note, I personally thought that Iha’s LICD was one of the worst albums ever made….EVER. I thought I was listening to something from TIME LIFE’s AM GOLD series. Not only can he not sing (hello Willam "She Bangs" Hung), but the fact he chose to essentially make a 70’s love/peace album for his 1st solo record was baffling to me. That was the quickest tirp I’ve made to sell a cd back after buying it ever. If someone gave me that CD or vinyl today, you’d see me recycle it for toliet paper.

Nice toilet paper remark. LOL.
My fingers are crossed for Billy Corgan. I just hope he knows he still has a following and love from his fans, even though it may seem his band is crashing down upon him again. It’s just the Smashing Pumpkins way I guess, and it’s always been up to BC to make the best of it. He’s done a good job so far, so I wish him the best and hope to rock out soon enough.
UNLESS, he does more stripped down acoustic like for the tonight, tonight b-sides or pre-gish material. for some reason, I really like that kind of sound/groove.
Nice rant, & I’m with you. Your call for Billy’s Pumpkins rock will hopefully be answered, for my benefit too.
On a sidenote, because I always wanted to say this to you: check out the SP live a bit more.
It will be like you discover them again.
[/quote:9cbkk5so]Maybe, just maybe after I get my hands on all the official releases. From what I’ve heard, I’ve enjoyed, so you may be right.
Oh and what about laserdiscs? Believe it or not, I’ve seen plenty of these with Pumpkin tracks on them. Now these are next to worthless….
I’m really not a cassettes collector, but when I found a seller from Thailand, I ordered all Thai cassette albums he could find, and a set for my modding friend manilla here also. Next to that I think I have the rarest Pisces Iscariot around: from Peru (yes, Peru! of all places!) and it has the CD artwork. No other PI cassette we know so far has that.
[/quote:2kpr5v5u]This is why you’re a fly guy. I want that! Too cool.
Yeah, I’m collecting SP cassettes as well. I’m in search for the Today cassette in slipcase. That must be quite rare, haven’t even seen one yet-
And more cassette kinda stuff from the SD-era.Although I’ve got SD, Pisces, MC&IS, 1979 and BWBW on tape.[/quote:3fph5590]
There is a Today UK and AU in slipcases, just in case you’re not aware. I mean to scan these sometime soon. I think one is on the site already but the other is not.
But look at Pisces Iscariot for example. I think it becomes a somewhat more interesting item when all formats have different covers, although that album hasn’t got any extra songs on it.[/quote:3oaib2bf]
Yes, and some cassettes come in slipcases (from AU or KR) or UK/US singles, and those are fun to collect as well.
Maybe it’s just me, but I love cassettes and am working on collecting as many as I can all the time.
i disagree. it depends on what type of cassette we’re talking about. if it’s an early demo cassette, that will be like vinyl. an early booking tool used to promote the band in the absolute earliest days, so very rare and very desireable.
i collect the shit out of promo cassettes, i’m sure they will retain their value. if not, sell me your rare ones for $1, i’d be happy to buy them.
