Note: this release is no longer available, has been referred to by Billy as "probably illegal," and may have been put together without the band's/label's permission.
A collection of almost every TSP b-side, demo, and outtake ever released to date (thru the band's 2000 breakup, and including Greatest Hits/Judas O and Earphoria, released afterwards), released digitally in online music stores such as iTunes. It also includes the "A-side" from all of the singles for which b-sides appear, except for Rocket. It was the first release to feature all-digital versions of Bullet Train to Osaka, Terrapin, Siamese Dream, Purr Snickety, Not Worth Asking, Honey Spider II, and Infinite Sadness, which were previously only available on vinyl.
It did not include the original 7" vinyl versions of I Am One or Tristessa, La Dolly Vita, Honeyspider, My Dahlia, Sun, Daughter, Jackie Blue, or Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, and is missing 2 of the 1979 remixes and all of the TEitBitE mixes. It also did not include any of the tracks exclusive to Pisces Iscariot (Frail & Bedazzled, Whir, La Dolly Vita, Spaced). It did not include Real Love from Rotten Apples, or the Untitled single or its b-sides, or the "Live at Cabaret Metro10-5-88" which was given away at their "final" show in 2000. It also oddly failed to include Silverfuck from Earphoria, the only track from Earphoria missing (French Movie Theme is listed earlier as it appeared on the Cherub Rock single), although this is likely due to licensing issues with the "Over the Rainbow [Harburg/Arlen]" tease, which was cut from the video release, Vieuphoria, but not from Earphoria. Live tracks from other releases were also missing, such as the acoustic Rocket from "ONXRT: Live from the Archives, Volume 3", the "Live in Chicago" promo tracks, Age of Innocence from "Live X 6: Walk Unafraid".
It did not include side-project tracks such as "Isolation", the Ransom or Stigmata soundtrack songs, or anything else not released under the "Smashing Pumpkins" name (i.e. Ascendo, Asia Minor, Black Oblivion, When I Was Born I Was Bored, etc.).
The complete release clocked in at over 8 hours in length, and included tracks from the following releases:
