Back Cover Notes: Only the Smashing Pumpkins could have pulled it off. While the world eagerly awaited a new Pumpkins album the indefatigable Billy Corgan had decided not for the first time, to fly in the face of conversation. The bands fourth album 'Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness' was a double album containing an astonishing twenty eight tracks, that effortlessly covered imaginable music terrain. While the industry worried about viability of such a mammoth undertaking, the single '1979', 'Bullet With Butterfly Wings', Zero and the excellent 'Tonight Tonight' paved the way for sales currently around a remarkable seven million copies. Chicago natives James Iha, D'arcy Wretzy and singer, songwriter , guitarist Corgan have arguably become the biggest band in the world at present. If their debut 'Gish' caused a stir, then the reaction to follow up 'Siamese Dream' was positively seismic. Chatback Records is delighted to present this fascinating interview with Billy and D'arcy conducted in front of a live studio audience, with Corgan talking as candidly as ever about his bands meteoic rise to global acclaim, and what makes the phenomenal Smashing Pumpkins tick.
