Memorabilia Monday: Muzzle Promotional CD
Smashing Pumpkins' fourth album, Mellon Collie & The Infinite Sadness, was the jump start for no less than five singles. In order of release, we saw "Bullet With Butterfly Wings", "1979", "Zero", "Tonight, Tonight", and "Thirty-Three"; but who knew that "Thirty-Three" had almost lost the race to "Muzzle"?

A single sheet of paper is used to check the set-up of equipment. They make adjustments to colors and images. To save paper, they then flip the same paper around and retest. Only a couple of these, "strike-through, make-ready's" are known to exist! Making this a grand piece of memorabilia! --
