Smashing Pumpkins have already reissued their 1995 double album Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness on several occasions, but another version will emerge Nov. 21 from UMe to celebrate the project’s 30th birthday. Available digitally and in CD and vinyl incarnations, the anniversary set is highlighted by 80 minutes of previously unreleased live recordings from the Pumpkins’ 1996 tour — their last with the original lineup of vocalist/guitarist Billy Corgan, guitarist James Iha, bassist D’arcy Wretzky and drummer Jimmy Chamberlin. Corgan will also toast Mellon Collie as part of a seven-show collaboration with Chicago’s Lyric Opera from Nov. 21-30. “You’ll hear Billy Corgan and special guest artists along with the epic sound of the Lyric Opera of Chicago Orchestra and Chorus in a completely new sonic and visual experience,” reads a message on the event’s web site. The Pumpkins are presently on tour in Asia and will visit Jakarta tomorrow (Oct. 3).
