highfives Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Looks like someone is bootlegging Machina 2. Pretty pricey for an unknown source. https://www.ebay.com/itm/SMASHING-PUMPKINS-Machina-II-4-LP-BOX-BOOKLET-Outtakes-unreleased-versio/123092955652?hash=item1ca8e97204:g:aeoAAOSw7fBa3Neq Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Barkley Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Cool bootleg, but i'm not sure if i'd ever want to spend that much. I thought there was a rumor floating around that it was eventually going to be reissued a couple years ago with the rest of the SP catalog.

grizzlyfoz Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Shipping from Italy isn’t a great sign either, from what I’ve heard of their post office. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know the specifics but after the the rights switched hands during the reissue campaign, the Machina/Machina II reissue was put on the back burner. There are some interviews were Billy touches on it but nothing in great detail. OneThreeOneTwo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Bill hasn't fully explained. It has something to do with the label holding it back (most likely the money to get it done). OneThreeOneTwo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 (edited) The deal for the reissues going back to 2010 or whenever it was was with EMI. That was for 8 reissues (Gish through Machina plus Rotten Apples). EMI was sold to Universal (?), and I'm sure the terms of contact were nullified after a point. It would make sense Universal would stick with it through their popular albums and say screw it to an album that was half a bomb - sales wise, and half given away for free. On top of that Billy wants to spend more time recording and adding new stuff to the album, rather than just compiling and remastering it.

From what I understand shipping to Italy seems to be the issue. Eric_Matthews 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CeCeCe Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 (edited) I've got this bootleg, purchased from a store in France online & shipped to the UK with no problems but they don't have it in stock anymore. Nice quality. https://www.discobuzz.fr/en/smashing-pumpkins/7606-the-smashing-pumpkins-machina-ii-the-friends-enemies-of-modern-music-boxset-collector-vinyl-4lp-.html https://www.discogs.com/The-Smashing-Pumpkins-Machina-II-The-Friends-Enemies-Of-Modern-Music/release/8625089 Edited April 23, 2018 by craigeduk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
