There was a lot of hype. It was released I want to say early June but I’m not sure - I just remember all these gothy kids in their black zero long sleeves queuing and wilting in the heat. MTV Europe went hard with Ava Adore and all music mags had some kind of feature on the band / record. I was broke traveling that summer. I eventually scrounged some money for Adore and Celebrity Skin in October. autumn, many Mellon Collie fans had abandoned ship. The boards were lit with new fans who went hard with the zeal of the newly converted. I remember when the Perfect vid was recorded, there were accounts of board members who were there and so excited because the band was in rocking form and the vid was a sequel to the Mellon Collie hits.
