Smashing Pumpkins Machina C. 2000 W. Melissa

Hello All,

I was unhappy with the green Monuments to an Elegy album I have you can see in "My Page". So generic. I bought it as a slot filler. I saw this pop up while I was browsing. I think it is quite genuine. I see idiosyncrasies specific to 2000 as well as general form. All 3 original Pumpkins and Mellisa Auf Der Mar on bass - Darcy's replacement for this tour in 2000. This album, Machina/The Machines of the God, contains the last true "Pumpkins" song - Stand Inside Your Love - as far as I can hear. I don't see many signed photographs like this from the short period of this line up. Thoughts welcome. A better scan will follow.

Thanks,
Eric

Yes he is.
Most 90s stuff i post goes unnoticed as well.
It looks like it could be real.

Hi Paul,

Thank you. I found him - just sent his a friend request and asked him to take a look. I think it good.

Hello,

Well, this was disappointing. Arrived - thinnest cheapest computer paper, not even photo paper, that you can imagine. Pixelated so badly, such low that res Bill's head was jagged instead of curved. Bold and beautiful sigs - but returned ASAP for refund. I would not even attempt to resell this. It was so very cheap and this outcome was a possibility. Happy to get refund although it was "no returns" but that is hardly an accomplishment on eBay. So, I went and hunted down another Pumpkins signed CD from early 2000 that is much more pleasing to me and has "photo proof" in which you can actually see the item clearly. And, it is nice to have candid photographs w/negs of them sitting together - in a few months Billy and James would never speak again, other than one business call about 10 years ago or so. Will post scans soon.

Happy New Year!

Eric
