2010.06.22 | #4 OF THE SPFREAKS' LIVE COMPILATIONS HAS BEEN RELEASED!
May we call it a tradition already? Roughly every 6 months we at SPfreaks.com release a set of Smashing Pumpkins live MP3 files, gathered around a theme. For #4 the theme is: Covers! Over the years Smashing Pumpkins never hesitated to play songs from other bands, be it old blues songs, be it modern rock classics. This set of 31 songs, spanning their career from 1988 to 2009, contains many surprising choices of covers. For the Smashing Pumpkins fans: go grab it!

Last year, we ended with that one-of-a-kind German vinyl test pressing for Tristessa. This year we're putting the spotlight on another very rare European Smashing Pumpkins item. Not as unique as the vinyl test pressing though. On the left, an almost spotless 1992 Dutch tour poster that was found on eBay very recently. With these kind of items, you have to realize that only a few dozen of these posters were made in the early days of Smashing Pumpkins, in a period when they were rather unknown still. Almost all of them were used back then, and got subsequently destroyed. This poster however, found it's way into someone's collection. Discuss your SP fandom or your SP collection on our Forum, if you like!
in the meantime,

wishes you
a rocking
2010...
