yeah, i dont like the last one but there he has been doing pretty cool work too.

I knew there was a Machina re-issue a couple of months ago (just waiting for the price of the vinyl to go down before purchasing), so now all of the studio albums have been released, but it flew under my radar that Billy has finally put together a Machina/Machina II definitive edition. I'm not going to spend $400 on it, but I'm excited to listen: https://madamezuzus.com/products/preord ... xe-box-set

There's also a 30th anniversary of Mellon Collie coming next month with new live tracks attached: https://madamezuzus.com/products/the-sm ... dition-4cd

The vinyl version looks absolutely massive.

Yeah I really wish I had a grand sitting around, I’d snag both of those.

Fyi, vinyl rip of the machina box is out, for those who are interested.

I do want Siamese Dream, Mellon Collie and Adore in vinyl but those mega editions are getting ridiculous.

Whats new about this edition and the super deluxe thing he released ten years ago? Is it a reissue?

For Mellon Collie, it's new packaging and new bonus tracks (not included on the big reissue from like 10 years ago). Also, there were no bonus tracks on the vinyl last time around.

more songs? or something they didnt put there but its on, lets say, airplane fly high

I believe they're all unreleased live tracks, which definitely makes it seem like it's for the completists only.

oh i see i see

yeah probably some live shows Billy might release later. He has been releasing very cool live stuff trough his tea house

He really needs to dump the full deluxe versions on streaming services.

there are a few of them on Spotify

Adore and Mellon Collie i think

The whole lot? I want access to everything without selling a kidney for the vinyl.

here i can listen to

gish / siamese dream / mellon collie / pisces iscariot / aeroplane deluxe edition

and

Adore super deluxe edition

To be clear, the mid-2010s reissues of everything besides Machina were just the original albums repressed on vinyl (and Aeroplane pressed on wax for the first time) and they were released alongside super deluxe CD boxsets. The LPs were all fairly reasonable prices (MCIS and Aeroplane were more expensive being box sets), but you’d have to sell a kidney today for Aeroplane and maybe a few toes for Siamese Dream.

I don’t even love chocolate, but…

It's not hard to believe. I took this picture at Hershey Park.

It's not, wouldn't doubt he had the squirts at the time.

Finally listening to the big Machina box set--the Machina II songs have never sounded so good.

I already have a big Mellon Collie vinyl box, but I thought I might upgrade my CDs. Fuck, why is the CD reissue $50??
