I think I already posted this or something similar a couple months back, but I like thinking about this.

Here are the ones I very much want in studio version form:

Pale Scales
Shame (the way they played it live in 1998)
Gossamer
As Rome Burns
Make it Happen (original Backwards Clocks style)

Lonely Is The Name
The March Hare
As Rome Burns
Circular Change
When The Cocks Crow

Gossamer is fine as-is, IMO. I only listed stuff that either doesn't exist, or might exist only in demo form. Perhaps some are completed, but we don't know for sure. If we're talking material that we know for a fact exists, then add these in to my list:

-Towers Of Rabble (acoustic demo)
-Speed
-Pug (Blues Death March)
-Peace & Love (acoustic demo)
-99 Floors (acoustic demo)

1. Speed (1995)
2. Orpheus Descending (keyboard version) (2007)
3. Lost in the Woods (2004)
4. Question Mark (2007)
5. Gossamer (2007)

Of course, you know there's plenty more I'd like, but I'd be beating a dead horse.....

:lol:/> Too many greats. On the bright side, I do think there should be an unreleased studio version of Spilled Milk (ala Zwan DVD). Here's hoping he follows through on a Zwan reissue and we get our grubby hands on that gem. As I understand it, there should also be unreleased studio takes of Glorious, Cast a Stone, and of course the other tracks from the DVD.

Glorious would be up there for me. I would include For Your Love too, but we have that really high quality radio broadcast of it acoustic, so that's really good enough for me. Same for 99 Floors, Peace+Love+Shit, Circular Change, etc.

Lonely Is The Name
March Hare
Adore Era Let Me Give The World to You
Glorious
Zeitgeist Sessions Gossamer

Sure. As would this:

Honestly, any of those songs would have been better if the whole thing had been handled differently.

Looking only at Smashing Pumpkins

1. No Surrender
2. Mama
3. As Rome Burns
4. Disco King (I know this is technically The Everlasting Gaze but still so drastically different it's almost a different song).
5. Let Me Give the World to You Adore version (still not confident it's that great, but we need to hear it to judge...the holy grail of unreleased SP)

If you throw Zwan in the mix...

My Life and Times
Love Lies in Ruins
Spilled Milk.

Never would have been interested in hearing a studio "Gossamer." It is a song meant to be played and enjoyed live, and I think the performance from If All Goes Wrong can be considered the definitive version.

girl with the cruel face
any other version or master of 'methusela' that exists
identify
speed
towers of rabble

any other pre-gish songs, especially any pre-jimmy songs. probably demos for all the 88 songs exist in pre-jimmy versions that he would've given the band to learn off of. in fact i remember darcy mentioning this, before she joined bc gave her some tapes, a lot of this stuff would be unheard stuff.

any other unreleased mcis material w/ vocals

"Lonely is the Name" (so long as they don't mess with it too much like what they did to Tom Tom)

"I Am My End" (some weird jam that seemed to combine "Offer Up" and "STP" [but I prefer it to both of those] and was similar to the "old Jellybelly" [you know, that song that sounds nothing like "Jellybelly" that Billy claims is an early "Jellybelly"]).

That's all I can think of for now. "Gossamer" needs no studio version, the live recordings are plently clear enough.
