Personnel

Notes

    Smashing Pumpkins project, as announced by Billy here [spfc mirror]. The project was to feature 44 songs, all available for free, released one at a time. There were also plans for 11 limited edition 4-track EPs, which were said to be "more like mini-box sets rather than your normal cd single", and a final "deluxe box set", which would "not be a recompilation of the limited edition pieces". Only 2 physical releases were ever produced, and the downloads ended after 10 songs, leaving the total (including the 2 vinyl-only tracks) at 12 songs. Including Oceania and Monuments in the TbK project brings the song count up to 34.

    The TbK entry (archived link: 2012-08-14) on SP's official web site listed Lightning Strikes and Owata as part of "Volume 3", albeit with no subtitle, and Oceania was listed on a separate page.
