The Smashing Pumpkins – Shiny and Oh So Bright Vol. 1 (Vinyl)
Produced by Rick Rubin, it is the band's first album to feature founding members James Iha and Jimmy Chamberlin since Machina II/The Friends and Enemies of Modern Music (2000) and Zeitgeist (2007).
In true Pumpkins fashion, Shiny and Oh So Bright Vol. 1 defies expectations. Billed as a reunion album, with original members Jimmy Chamberlin and James Iha back in the fold, the nostalgically-inclined were hoping for a "return to form." This is not that. Circling back to repeat is antithetical to the core spirit of the world's greatest alt-rock band.
Instead this is a damn good modern classic rock album, one that evokes elements of what made us fall in love with Billy Corgan's vision and his chemistry with his incredibly talented bandmates in the first place, while embracing all of the growth and changes a songwriter of his age and experience has undergone.
Available on Black Vinyl and Silver Vinyl

Knights Of Malta 4:38
Silvery Sometimes (Ghosts) 3:32
Travels 5:23
Solara 4:22
Alienation 5:02

PRE-ORDERS
Flying Nun only debits your account for a pre-order when it has actually landed in our store. We believe this is fair because supply can often be unreliable - availability and release dates frequently change without notice. Pre-order with Flying Nun and you can cancel any time prior to the product arriving at our store.
OUT OF STOCK ITEMS
Flying Nun only make products available to purchase on our website when they are actually physically held at the store (except pre-orders). Vinyl availability from all local and international suppliers changes on a daily/hourly basis. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee an online order for many items not currently held in stock.
