Discoveries from the Mellon Collie Box Set Liner Notes | Poetic Wax

Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness is the 1995 double (or even triple) album by The Smashing Pumpkins. I’ll dig into a brief history of the album in this mini documentary and share elements of some of the top songs within. From top singles “Bullet With Butterfly Wings,” “Thirty Three,” and “1979” to personal favorites like “Porcelina of the Vast Oceans,” the history of the album is one that is anything but short. Throughout, you’ll see footage of my 2022 vinyl box set, featuring 4 LPs and two booklets of lyrics, narratives, essays, and extensive artwork. I also touch on the artwork itself, from Wisconsin-based artist John Craig.
