Smashing Pumpkins – Quiet and Other Songs

here is the info file from Dime

Smashing Pumpkins – 1992 – Quiet and Other Songs (T+T)

Very exciting stuff — this was leaked out piecemeal on netphoria back in 08/09. No lineage information, but this sounds like it’s from a mid-gen analog tape. Supposedly, the only copy of this is stashed in the library of congress, so god knows how it got out. She Says and Tulips are totally unreleased tunes, and this version of Set the Ray to Jerry is absolutely great.

This is the version compiled by T&T, I’m not sure exactly what editing he did.

spfc notes…

# Doorstep is an early version of Meladori Magpie and featured a full-band arrangement.

# Suicide Kiss evolved into Geek USA.

# Hello Kitty Kat was at this time simply titled Kitty Kat.

# Set the Ray to Jerry is an early version of the song, full band electric, with a faster tempo and more aggresive sound.

# Mayonaise is cut, due to being on the end of Side B of the source tape.

also of note: Set the Ray to Jerry and Meladori Magpie eventually wound up as Mellon Collie b-sides in 1996
