The Aeroplane Flies Even Higher: Smashing Pumpkins Singles Box Gets Generous Expansion

June 5, 2013 By Mike Duquette 7 Comments

The Aeroplane Flies HighDetails for the next title in the ongoing Smashing Pumpkins reissue series, a new edition of the box set The Aeroplane Flies High, have been announced.

Originally released in 1996 after the success of the diamond-certified double-album Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness (itself the latest notch in the Pumpkins' reissue campaign, with a six-disc box set edition released last year), Aeroplane collated and expanded all of the CD singles released to promote that album, featuring "Bullet with Butterfly Wings," "1979," "Zero," "Tonight, Tonight" and "Thirty-Three" with their many respective B-sides. Initially intended as a limited edition set, the box's high chart placement (No. 42 on the Billboard charts) in fact generated more copies.

This deluxe edition, unsurprisingly, follows suit with the rest of the band's extensive catalogue project, piling bonuses heavy atop the original program. What was a five-disc, 33-track set is now seven (six CDs and one DVD) with some 57 bonus tracks, including demos, outtakes, rough mixes and live cuts. The additional discs in the set are a CD, "Live from the Dark Globe," recorded at various dates on the band's 1996 tour, an a newly-released DVD of a live show in France from 1997.

The package, newly remastered by Bob Ludwig, features a 48 page book featuring liner notes by David Wild and track-by-track notes on the box's original track list by Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan. The redesigned set features an embossed foil wrap for the box itself and mini-jackets for each disc printed on twinkle stock. Additionally, the original box will be available as a five-LP set, with both versions made available for digital download, as well.

Aeroplane indeed flies high on July 23. Hit the jump for the full track list and pre-order links for the expanded box!

A 2009 graduate of Seton Hall University with a B.A. in journalism, Mike paired his profession with his passion through The Second Disc, one of the first sites to focus on all reissue labels great and small. His passion for reissues turned into a career, with bylines on catalog at Discogs, City Pages and Ultimate Prince and credits on titles including the Grammy-winning 'Squeeze Box: The Complete Works of "Weird Al" Yankovic.' Born and raised in New Jersey, Mike lives in Astoria, Queens with an ever-expanding collection of music.

    Sometimes I wonder if it's ever smart to buy something, even deluxe, when eventually it comes out all over again even bigger, more expanded and with bells and whistles that were not on the original. If I counted up how much I've spent in my life re-buying things over and pver I could probably have bought a house!

      And you would need a house to store all the "deluxe", "limited edition", "numbered", "expanded" editions of all your favorites..... I hear you.

    Well, here are the tracks that should have been on the Mellon Collie deluxe edition. (I guess it was expected that Mellon Collie would sell on its name alone.) Why not a three-disc edition of all the original Aeroplane tracks, now remastered?

    I already have the original box - Amazon has a pre-oder price of $136 plus change - that works out to about $5 per extra song - looks like a wallet-rape to me...tghough I wouldn't mind WINNING this new version.

    I really like these super deluxe Smashing Pumpkins reissues in theory, but in practice they're way more money than I'm willing to spend.

    Wait a minute - my math must be off - I read it wrong - so it's 57 extra tracks (both audio & video) - and it works out to about $2.50 per song/video - that's STILL a bit too expensive, though not quite as bad as I originally thought. Hopefully the price will come way down once it's actually released..

    the bonus content is great but this pricing is out of control. they're charging $150 for the LP version. for five EPs of content, with no bonus, and not even a download card or anything. is Billy out of his mind? i can't imagine they will have much content for adore beyond what was seen for siamese or pisces, but i'm willing to bet that it will cost twice as much.
