Smashing Pumpkins Reveal 'Gish,' 'Siamese Dream' Reissue Details

1:59 p.m. · October 18, 2011 · by Andrew Martin

When Billy Corgan isn't busy working on his new wrestling company, the Smashing Pumpkins frontman is putting together deluxe reissues of the band's first two albums, Gish and Siamese Dream. EMI will put them out Nov. 29 and for anyone wondering: yes, they contain a considerable of extras. 

Each album comes with an additional disc filled with demos, rarities, new mixes, and acoustic takes on tracks. Not only that, but a live DVD is also packed in with each reissue. For Gish, you get to watch the Pumpkins' perform at the Metro in Chicago in August 1990. As for Siamese Dream, that performance stems from a Metro gig, too, though it occurred three years later.

The albums have also been remasterd by Bob Ludwig and you can find additional liner notes and commentary within the deluxe reissues. They will apparently cost $30 each. Not too bad. You can view the track listings for the discs and DVDs below. [CoS]
