The Smashing Pumpkins Announce 30th Anniversary Reissue Of Melon Collie And The Infinite Sadness For November 2025 Release

On October 24, 1995, The Smashing Pumpkins released what would become one of the most iconic works of the decade: the sprawling double album, Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness. Now, thirty years later, the band is returning with a special deluxe reissue expanding on the original album, including eighty minutes of previously unreleased recordings from the 1996 tour in support of the album.

On November 21, three new versions of Mellon Collie will be available via UMe. The album and live material will hit DSPs, and all audio will be available in both a four-disc deluxe edition CD and a 4CD SHM-CD package, featuring new liner notes written by Billy Corgan. The band has also put together a limited-edition vinyl box set essential for the diehard fans, including Mellon Collie and the 1996 Infinite Sadness tour audio on six LPs, the new liner notes in a hardbound book, a custom tarot card deck, and seven frameable lithographs, all housed in a velvet slipcase with a cloth carrying bag.

Included in all versions, the 1996 live material is a holy grail for longtime Pumpkins devotees. Only recently discovered, the recordings showcase the original lineup at the height of their powers. Pre-save the album and listen to the newly discovered live track, “Geek U.S.A.” From The Infinite Sadness Tour ’96, HERE.
