Smashing Pumpkins - Jackie Blue

I've never heard of this one, only "Blue". Is it some alternate of this song, or some random studio session song?

I honestly have no idea where it came from. Every once in a while I go searching for SP b-sides via downloading programs, and I came across Jackie Blue. At first I was skeptical, but then once I heard it, there was no mistaking it; it's definitely Billy Corgan singing, and it sounds like from the Aeroplane Flies High box set. I can e-mail it to you, if ya want.

Please, my email link is displayed below my posts, I believe.

Someone reconstituted the SP audio archive at rspaa.org, a while back, and I still haven't done any searching on it for any good songs that I haven't heard before. Didn't find Jackie Blue there, when I did a quick search.

I have that box set somewhere. I can check. It's a got a shitload of random covers on it. I believe there's a cover of The Car's "You're All I've Got Tonight" on there too.

It's not on that set, I own it.

Here's the track listing for it:

There's a song named Blue that's on the b-side compilation, Pisces Iscariot, that's all I know.

"Jackie Blue" is a single by the Ozark Mountain Daredevils off the album It'll Shine When It Shines. The song reached #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1975.

The version appearing on the album has a running time of 4:11, while the single was edited at 3:38.

It was recorded by the Smashing Pumpkins in 1991 as part of the Gish recording, but never officially released.

There's your answer, fishbulb.

From the Gish session, eh? Interesting. Looks like the rspaa does not have those...Or I just can't navigate this thing. Damn, I miss the old audio archive.

Fishbulb? Simpsons reference?

Here's the song's info at spfc. It was under covers, so I didn't see it before:

I've found that Gates of Steel by Devo is a rather enjoyable driving song.
