That headline may have you feeling shivers down your spine, so I don't mean to crush the moment but I'm gonna, so mark my words: This will go down as a golden age for the music industry's inventive (not inventive) profit regeneration on the back of pure moments from the early '90s. This week we'll dip into Liz Phair's wellspring of carnal confusion at Hiro with Exile live (plus handy repackaged version of the album as souvenir), and the Pumpkins are alluding to doing the same with their debut:
This comes via smashingpumpkins.com:
Does anyone else smell that in the air? Oh yeah, that's Gish!
SP.com has another small byte of information for you regarding your favorite first Smashing Pumpkins album: plans are currently underway that will lead to the eventual release of a pre-Gish/Gish box set!
What is to be included on here, no one knows for sure but it should be noted that its release is expected to coincide with the Gish tour sometime in 2008...
Expect more information as it becomes available.
Like any good re-release worth its weight in nostalgia appropriation, the bonus tracks should be a nice add-on (here hinted at with "pre-Gish," probably stuff from Early 1989 Demos). Hearing a live "Snail" or "Rhinoceros" would be pretty great too. Of course this begs of Billy (again) the D'arcy and James question, but more importantly, whether he decides to bring 'em out or not, expect a never ending assault of press pieces pressing the point. Because that's just how interviewers do.
