Peel Sessions

Peel Sessions is an EP by The Smashing Pumpkins, released in 1992. The songs were recorded live on September 8, 1991 for John Peel's Radio 1 show, with exception of some minor overdubbing. All recordings later appeared on Rarities and B-Sides, and all but "Smiley" were included in the deluxe reissue of Gish.

...our slightly infamous john peel session. we of course showed up expecting to meet john peel, but it's not like that at all. we were 2 hours late due to some technical misunderstanding-- but we were treated so poorly by this idiot who used to be the drummer from mott the supple that it is probably *1 on our all time worst experiences list ... we meant it back then, but that was long agoe. but that was long a go-go, so we only ended up recording 3 songs that day(siva and smiley too) because it was so uptight, but i'm glad we did tolerate that XXXXXXX mott the nipple that day even though i don't think we would now.
