Description
Siamese Dream is the second album by the American alternative rock band The Smashing Pumpkins, released on July 27, 1993 on Virgin Records. The album fused diverse influences such as shoegazing, dream pop, noise pop, classic rock, heavy metal and progressive rock. Despite recording sessions fraught with difficulties and tensions, Siamese Dream debuted at #10 on the Billboard charts, and eventually sold over four million copies in the U.S., and over six million worldwide, cementing The Smashing Pumpkins as an important group in alternative rock music. Four singles were released in support of Siamese Dream: "Cherub Rock", "Today", "Disarm" and "Rocket". In addition to receiving positive reviews upon its release, Siamese Dream has widely been regarded as one of the best albums of the 1990's, and one of the best albums of all time. In 2003, Rolling Stone magazine ranked it number 360 on their 500 Greatest Albums of All Time list. This is the 1993 ORIGINAL Gatefold Vinyl (2) US "First Pressing" on the "Maroon" color vinyl. Vinyls came in various colors, but the "Maroon" is considered "first pressings" that were limited. The catalog # on the spine is: carol 1740-1 0170 4 61740 1 5. I have NEVER played these vinyls, as I do not play any of my color vinyls due to their poor sound quality. The spindals are "crisp" on both records, and appear to have never been played. Still has spindal wax inside one of the records. Please see pic. I have this on cd. I received this "back in the day" from a friend that worked at a local radio station. Smashing Pumpkins played here in Honolulu at (now defunct) The Pink Cadillac on the "Gish" tour. Comes with 2 Promotional photos: #1) Smashing Pumpkins 8" X 10" b/w Promo photo of "Rocket" video. Photo credit: Lisa Johnson 6/94. #2) 4" x 5" reddish/white Virgin Label Promo sticker of Smashing Pumpkins. Very little discoloration as I rarely let them in the light. Both OOP and beyond rare.
