      Same as the other Pumpkins albums I've heard: The hits are great but there is so much fluff, especially with a double album, that I probably won't be listening again anytime soon.

        My copy has a triple case cd, you can see it in this release:
        https://discogs.versitio.com/release/24253301-The-Smashing-Pumpkins-Mellon-Collie-And-The-Infinite-Sadness

        Have you the same type of case?
        I wonder why nobody takes care of these characteristic, like special or transparent case, or special serigraphy... Why?

          Just bought the 4LP vinyl reissue, which I would think should be from 2023. Also it has a sticker saying made in . Can't find it here. Can anyone point to the current edition?

              I love my copy. And I have ALOT of vinyl. This album is so expensive that I'm more than content to hear it crackle-free and in its full glory on my cd player. Plus having it original from 95 is pretty awesome, with the booklets and extra artwork. There are still relatively cheap copies in NM condition. Get em! It's a stone-cold classic. Easily in the top 10 double albums of all time.

                CD is the way to go on this album, like most 90s albums. Not really written/mastered in mind for vinyl. Meant to be cranked loud in a car or at home. Great album! One of the best recorded I think.

                  Bodies is one of the best songs Smashing Pumpkins ever did. If not the best. Had to add the video to the release page so others can hear if they don't know ...

                    The version that I have has A SMP 001, B SMP 001, C SMP 001..... etc on the run out. I'm new to working out the version.
                    Bootleg?
