Nothing Ever Changes (full demo)
Demo album by The Smashing Pumpkins
Released	June 1, 1988
Producer	Billy Corgan
Format	Cassette

The Nothing Ever Changes Demo is a demo tape that represented the original vision for the Nothing Ever Changes tape. It was about 60 minutes in length and was Corgan's first attempt at a full-length album; it contained a combination of songs, spoken word selections (recalled as "bad poetry"), and instrumentals. It featured drummer Ron Roesing from Corgan's former band, The Marked, on two live tracks.

It surfaced on August 4, 2014 when it appeared on SP Nexus' Memorabilia Mondays. The imagery suggests the tape was for private use and not intended for promotion.

The liner notes read:

All songs by Billy

All instruments, drum prog. by Billy
except
Breathe - James guitar, Billy bass
and the two live cuts which have
Ron on drums, James on guitar, Billy on bass

Tape completed 6-1-88
