Well, bill has to try and recoup the money lost from the vinyl zeitgiest somehow.

[i_adore_adore]

I knew it...

Oh well. I don't care to buy those live tracks anyway.

[Skradgee]

would someone copy and paste the news post please?

[T&T]

'American Gothic' collates four exclusive new tracks that were recorded in Pass Studio in Los Angeles when the band were taking a break from touring. Produced by Billy Corgan and Jimmy Chamberlin, the EP features the songs The Rose March, Pox, Again, Again, Again (The Crux) and Sunkissed.

In addition to these 4 tracks - a UK Tour Edition will also be available featuring exclusive tracks recorded live on the February 08 dates

Preorder UK Tour Edition now - ONLY at 7digital. www.7digital.com/smashingpumpkins
Live tracks will ******* 'That's The Way (My Love Is)' and '1979'.

i'm sure the "upload" will leak on netphoria somehow....

[Skradgee]

Stupid collectors items...I already preordered the regular version from Amazon.

[avsfan7733]

i wish they would release this on a disc rather than fucking mp3 files.

[dustrock]

oh great, That's the Way and 1979 acoustic. I suppose it fits with AG.

[Pheeew]

lily would be the only live track there to interest me

[davin]

don't worry if you already bought the 4 track import. this doesn't take its place, as its just a digital release, not physical.

and if you bought the first 4 on itunes, thats ok too, you can just buy the 4 new live tracks (thats the way, 1979, lily, perfect).

so its not like anyone has to double up on spending or anything.

[T&T]

I've been "collecting" beatles lately and for ever album you have
Uk mono
UK stereo
US mono
Us stereo
MFLS
japan mono red
japan stereo red
Brazil Mono
german Direct metal master
Blue Box UK
Blue Box US
Canadian (for some albums)
Italian (for some)
Dutch (for some)

and to top it off
one single crappy sounding cd release! (that was mastered back in 1987 essh)



we really don't have it that bad.

[themadcaplaughs]

I gotta admit that T&T is right; having bonus tracks on imports is nothing that new. Besides, you can always download the 4 live tracks. Even though I am an obsessive collector, I really feel no need to buy a physical copy of American Gothic.

[CrabbMan]

EUROPEAN live tracks on AMERICAN gothic? It just doesn't add up.

[i_adore_adore]

Billy HATES America. He wants that Statue of Liberty to DROWN, baby!

[trev]

the smashing pumpkins not playing chicago while playing the rest of the world - that doesn't add up

[i_adore_adore]

They're saving Chicago for last. That's the only explanation.

[trev]

what they'll play chicago right before they break up again???

[i_adore_adore]

For last on this tour for Zeitgeist/AG, is what I meant.

[i_adore_adore]

I really don't care either way. I don't think he owes anything to Chicago anymore. They played Normal... there was no reason the Chicago fans couldn't have gone to that show.

I've never understood why Chicago fans think they're more important than the rest of us. You guys are jerks.

[i_adore_adore]

Are you talking to me?

I thought we were past all this.

I'm going to bed. I'm posting too much.

I dunno, Pearl Jam always seems to save something special for Seattle. I never minded that the Pumpkins treated Chicago differently.

The Beatles were pretty vocal about Capital fucking with the albums and making special versions so it's not really the same situation.

[whywontyoulistn]

I guess this won't be "Live from Nottingham" then...

[i_adore_adore]

Oh, it's not that I'm opposed to Chicago getting special treatment. I live like two hours away, so I'm all about the Pumpkins loving Chicago. I'm just saying that it gets old to hear everyone complaining about how there have been no Chicago shows. Especially when if they were tr00 fans they could have gone to Normal.

(that last sentence was a half-joke)

[MonteLDS]

unless there is a physical release, then screw it

[davin]

looks like this has been pushed back a week. i was wondering why we hadn't seen these trax yet (original release date was 2 days ago).
