Yesterday it made on the OFFICIAL SITE . Those who sign up will get an email right away with a link to download a digital demo copy of Drown, a song which later appeared on the soundtrack for Cameron Crowe’s 1992 film, Singles.
Corgan Say about …
…the first song we’re going to release for free is a demo recording of “Drown”, which we found in going through the archives. It was recorded roughly around the end of ’91, early ’92, somewhere in the Gish touring we were writing songs which we hoped were going to be for Siamese Dream. And I believe in a couple days we recorded five demos: “Luna”, “STP”, “Drown”, “Silver[fuck]”, and something else I can’t remember. And so this is the actual demo from that time. And as part of what we’re going to do here with the Record Club, we’re going to provide certain materials that the band worked with to make its decisions. So although we eventually hope to offer this demo for sale, remixed and updated to 96k 24-bit status, which all our releases will be available as 96k 24-bit unmastered files, the “Drown” here that you’ll have will be the actual rough mix from the time. Which we actually think is kind of cool, because even though it’s a little bit of a lower fidelity than we’ll eventually offer the song at, you do get a sense of what the band was listening to at the time… I think I’ve already said that.
Billy also talks about the release when you sign up. With giving your address, you will get occasional email updates on upcoming SPRC releases.
Below, we have the final version of “Drown”, and if you wish can download directly from here …
