Remastered from the Original Analog Masters and Pressed Across 8 Sides for Optimum Sound Quality

Originally released in October of 1995, Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness debuted at 1 on the Billboard 200 chart and went on to a nine time platinum certification by the RIAA. It yielded major hits like Bullet With Butterfly Wings, the band s unlikely first Top 40 hit, the exquisite 1979 and the epic Tonight, Tonight as well as a thoroughly inspired series of videos.
Produced by Billy Corgan, Flood and Alan Moulder, the album would also earn a Grammy Award 1996 Best Hard Rock Performance for Bullet With Butterfly Wings as well as seven nominations. Beyond the more obvious hits, though, Mellon Collie is a song cycle of unusual depth and considerable range. It is a collection of stunningly beautiful moments when everything is lined up, a moment in time that s still here to be treasured.
EMI is doing just that by reissuing the album here across 4 x 180g LPs, remastered from the original analog masters for optimum sound quality for the first time and housed in a 12 x 12 rigid slipcase with 2 books containing personal notes, new collage artwork, lyrics and more. This reissue project was personally overseen by founding member Billy Corgan.
