Notes

    New Smashing Pumpkins album, as announced by Billy here [spfc mirror]. The album is to feature 44 songs, all available for free, released one at a time. There will also be 11 limited edition 4-track EPs, which are said to be "more like mini-box sets rather than your normal cd single", and a final "deluxe box set", which will "not be a recompilation of the limited edition pieces".

    The TbK entry on SP's official web site (as of 2012/06/01) lists Lightning Strikes and Owata as part of "Volume 3", albeit with no subtitle, and Oceania is listed on a separate page.
