yeah i m familiar with all that material. i was a huge pumpkins fan when i was in school and that was a cd and tape era so the stuff you would have you listened to them many many times

1/3 first cds i bought was mellon collie, i would save money to buy the aeroplane flies high in cd box set, i have the "ransom" soundtrack (for god's sake) which i had to buy to listen to the tracks BC wrote , pisces iscariot etc etc.


thats why i told you earlier that the mellon collie b-sides were better than the machinas.

but i ll also insist that when you release a box of cds with the songs that didnt make it to mellon collie, to have a bunch of good songs or good ideas for songs is more than enough (and there were plenty of good stuff in there)

when you release the follow-up to adore, a bunch of good alt rock songs wasnt enough. i also believe that the pumpkins didnt even have that minimum at the time.

it was a 100% false move without even some good songs to back it up.
