Kerry Brown tweeted that he will be listening to every alternative Gish & Siamese Dream mix at Capitol Records. As you could imagine, he will be spending many hours there. We wish him the best of luck!

Updates: Kerry arrived at Capitol Records today and has finished transferring all the I Am One mixes & Bury Me. The official SP twitter released a video of Tristessa being transfered over.

It appears that Gish has been transfered and now on day 2 it’s time for Siamese Dream.
Day 2 starts with one last transfer of I am One and then onto SD.

The many versions of Rocket  and apparently all of the SD outtakes are being transfered. But in typical Smashing Pumpkins style one of the tape machines broke. But the next tape machine is up and transferring Mayonnaise.

And on the 3rd day Today has is being transfered.
