The August-November 2003 sessions in Chicago were the recording sessions for the abandoned Chicago Kid solo album from Billy Corgan. Sessions began in late summer and lasted for around six to eight weeks, recording around 28 tracks total. Corgan ultimately wasn't happy with the results, and instead attempted a live DVD through a series of shows known as the Church Sessions, though this also did not result in any official release.
