In honor of the 25th anniversary of The Smashing Pumpkins’ 2000 album, Machina/The Machines of God, a new deluxe vinyl box set will be available on Aug. 22 – exclusively through Billy Corgan‘s Madame Zuzu’s tea shop in Highland Park, Illinois.  The box set also includes the companion record Machina II/The Friends & Enemies of Modern Music and 32 bonus tracks.

Machina/The Machines Of God was the fifth album from The Smashing Pumpkins; Madame Zuzu’s will be offering the 80-song box set exclusively, which will include a 48-track Machina as well as the 32 tracks of bonus demos, outtakes, and live performances.  The Smashing Pumpkins are also celebrating Machina’s 25th anniversary with other reissues, including a 2LP vinyl reissue, a limited-edition color 2LP in corona red/black, and on CD.

Corgan in a press release: “It’s taken some 25 years to finally release MACHINA as we in the band had hoped it would be, and with MadameZuzus.com as the only place one can get this expansive, 80-song collection, I personally could not be more proud. MACHINA was meant as our swan song, and it was truly a labor of love to bring it to fruition, however broken we were back then. But with the band about to embark on a global tour in 2025, as well as my solo tour with The Machines of God, this set stands as a celebration and testament of will, for the songs alone have helped James, Jimmy, and I keep the faith.”
