March 1992 – Waterfront Studios

The Spring 1992 Waterfront Studios session was The Smashing Pumpkins' first of three attempts to record "Drown". This one, recorded at Lenny Kravitz's studio in New Jersey, was scrapped as the output sounded more like a Kravitz recording. Curiously, a mix of the Waterfront version of "Drown" was included as a bonus track on a Hut promo tape of a 1992 performance for French radio.
