More recording sessions with Mark Ignoffo, intended to constitute the first Smashing Pumpkins album.  Fortunately for the future of the band, these sessions did not produce an album as anticipated but the second demo tape Moon.  Billy Corgan also compiled a tape from these sessions called Gish, used for bookings and label solicitation in 1989 and 1990.  Corgan also made a number of homemade mix tapes for friends and fans that featured different configurations of material from these sessions.  While about half of the sessions have  appeared on various releases, the remaining half can be found on bootlegs, the highest quality as unmastered final mixes compiled on a DAT tape that had belonged to Mike Potential.
