The Smashing Pumpkins / Broadcast Collection 1989-1995
With their uncompromising vision and diverse, guitar-heavy sound, this Chicago quartet touched on classic rock, psychedelia and metal, becoming one of the most successful bands of their generation.
This collection of WXRT-FM & WZRD-FM radio broadcasts captures them at their peak, beginning with an early session, before they were signed, and moving through their rise to stardom with Siamese Dream (1993) and Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness (1995), by which time internal strife was tearing them apart.
It's presented here together with background notes and images.
