The band booked time at Gravity Studios mid-way through the Siamese Dream
Tour to record demos for their upcoming double album. All tracks were
instrumentals (with the exception of Bullet with Butterfly Wings, which
included a half-hearted scratch vocal), and thus the recordings seem more
of a jam-session. This session was the source for a number of the
Pastichio Medley tracks, as some of the songs appear here as they do on the
Medley. Most of the tracks also feature extremely early working titles,
some titled simply as their chord progression. The song New Wave Echo is
actually the song known to bootleggers as Germans in Leather Pants (aka
Shame On You) and, despite much debate, is an original Pumpkins tune.
