Set II
Machina II / The Friends & Enemies of Modern Music by The Smashing
Pumpkins is a followup to Machina, and the last album from the band.
As a final farewell, and a fuck you to a record label that didn't give
them the support they deserved, a limited pressing album was made
(3x10" + 2LP, 5 discs total) and given away to be bootlegged out among
the fans. All tracks are completely new/unheard, except for Real Love,
which appears to be the same as the one found on the "Friends & Enemies"
60m cassette>bootleg, and Le Deux Machina, which is the same synth version
as found on the acoustic machina demos. Just to clear up any possible
confusion, this is the final album from the band. There are only 25
copies. There will NOT be a CD pressing.

Numerous scans are included with this release.
The 25 copies are on hand-cut, hand-numbered, non-lacquered acetate.
The 3 10"s come in plain white sleeves, the 2LP comes in a plain black
sleeve with paper pasted to the inside, including "ch5/the story of june
(so far)". The discs are labeled with small stickers bearing CR 01 thru
CR 04 (CR 04 is the 2LP, w/ sides A-D).
Set III
The story of MACHINA II/the friends and enemies of modern music:

On September 5, 2000, 25 packages were sent out via FedEx containing 1
each of the 3 EPs and the double LP along with the story. There was no
record cover, no track listing, no credits, and no other information of
any type.

The songs were divided into four records; three 10" vinyl acetates and a
double 12" acetate. Issued on Constantinople Records (Billy's own label)
the records were given catalog numbers of CR-01, CR-02, CR-03 (the 10"
EPs), and CR-04 (the double 12" LP). Twenty-five copies of each record
were pressed, and stickers identifying each by their catalog number were
afixed to each side of each record. The EPs were issued in plain white
sleeves, the LPs in plain black. The sleeves were then completely wrapped
in clear tape with various designs printed on it. Each of the records
featured a different design.

Notes: AKA "Machina II/Friends & Enemies of Modern Music". Very rare, vinyl sourced boot put out by Constantinople Records (Billy's own label). Only 25 of this set were pressed. The only flaw in the audio quality is a few pops n' clicks from the vinyl source. MUST HAVE for any SP fan. See Extended for more info.
