EMI Music has announced plans to honor the legacy of The Smashing Pumpkins by reissuing the band’s first two album, 1991’s ‘Gish’ and 1993’s ‘Siamese Dream,’ in CD, deluxe 2CD/DVD, vinyl LP, and digital configurations. The re-mastered versions of the two albums will be available in North America on November 29th and internationally on December 5th.

Both albums, each with bonus content and special features that were curated from the band’s archives by founding member Billy Corgan, have been painstakingly re-mastered for the first time from the original master tapes by Bob Ludwig.  

With the full support and guidance from The Smashing Pumpkins, EMI’s global catalog reissue campaign will last through 2013, and will encompass all the band’s albums and B-sides from 1991-2000, with other release dates to be announced.

The pivotal group’s many hits defined the alternative music era and continue to resonate on modern rock radio, influencing a whole new generation.  ‘Gish’ highlights include “I Am One,” “Siva” and “Rhinoceros,” while ‘Siamese Dream’ features “Cherub Rock,” “Today” and “Disarm.”  Both groundbreaking albums were produced by Butch Vig and Billy Corgan.

For the ‘Gish’ and ‘Siamese Dream’ liner notes, Billy Corgan was interviewed by journalist/author David Wild.  Corgan reflects on why these albums were hard-won triumphs for the band and discusses the origins of the songs.
