There should be magnet linked torrents on spfc.org to demos, etc.

yes, i believe this is what they are.
i wouldn't mind having them.

also: gish rough mix.
i still have this on cd-r somewhere, but i'd like the originally shared files, if anyone still has them.

Hello.

I have tried to upload my first torrent on ZOMB today! It is Sequence IV (thanks to CAIC) and I want to see if people could test out if it works. Thanks.

Does anyone have the original Smashing Pumpkins demo tape in lossless? Not the re-release from the Pisces Iscariot deluxe edition, but the original? That would be great.

thank you.

Thanks to CAIC for all of the magnet links! Thanks also to magikarp and anyone else who helped with the organization of what's out there. I've been seeding everything that's been posted nearly 24/7 for a month and a half. That will eventually become less frequent but I will keep the filesets for anyone who needs a seed down the road.

I was going through some old data-discs from the hub days to see if I had anything to contribute. Lots of rips I've come across so far are 256/320 mp3 or lossless versions already posted by CAIC. I'll dig through some more spindles but I'm not hopeful I'll find anything that hasn't already been contributed.

Looks like marrs-guitar hasn't been active on here since the day that post was made but maybe they will pop back in.

I'll be able to help seed from about 6pm CST tonight 7am CST tomorrow but then my pc is being powered down until late Monday night when I return home from the Chicago trip. Still at work for a couple more hours.

[clcng]

thanks for those. the demo on the reissue sounds like shit, especially on she. the b-sides tape and unaltered mcis rough mix are also welcome treats.

When did this come out? This is different from the Sequence 4 tape?

[clcng]

the mcis rough mix has been out for a while. it's not sequence 4. sequence 4 was made in may 1995 and mcis rough mix was made in july 1995. the mcis rough mix is much closer to the final product than sequence 4.

[Cool As Ice Cream]

this is the scan of the "gish rough mix" tape. it's tiny.
can anyone decipher what's written on the left?



does it say "dat" in the middle of the first line? what could the rest be?
then "channel (?) demo 09.06.90"
saturday
feeling (?) + something seems to have been erased?

i guess this text has nothing to do with gish.

do you know if the catherine demo is still on the tape, together with gish (before snail, maybe), or was it taped over?

We're talking about two different copies of this tape, so it's a split answer.

1) Yes, the Catherine demo still exists on the tape. The tape in question belongs (or did) to Mike Po. He played it for me and Josh Provost in his apartment in 1998 (strangely enough, on Memorial Day weekend, so this thread tangent is like an anniversary!). I do remember him FFwding through the cassette, because I remember being amused that either he or Billy were re-using cassettes.

Mike eventually made a DAT for me of this cassette, but he only included the SP stuff.

2) The copy circulating online is not from my DAT. I was not involved in the online leak of this tape, and my telephone-game understanding of it was that Mike eventually made a copy (or copies) for other people. I think I remember hearing that Fares Halteh might been involved, but I can't say for sure. I have no knowledge of what was contained on this other copy, other than what leaked.

As some of you may know, my copy of the Reel Time Studio sessions appears to be different from the version Mike made for the group that was involved in the leak of it back in 2000 or 2001, whenever it was. My copy was a dupe of the session DAT that Mike surreptitiously made of Billy's original DAT. I think I remember that the online leak had the songs in alphabetical order? If that's true, and the leakers did not create that running order themselves, then Mike made a different copy for them than he did for me. It's possible the same situation exists with this "Gish Rough Mix" tape.

So the short answer is it did still exist in 1998, and I assume unless Mike had a fit of pique and destroyed it, it still does. I have no knowledge of whether it ever leaked from Mike, all I know is that I never had it.
