Description
Artist: The Smashing Pumpkins
Title: Tristessa (b/w La Dolly Vita & Honeyspider)
Format: 12" Vinyl Single, 45 RPM
Label/Catalog No: Sub Pop / SP10/137
Pressing Year/Country: 1990, Germany
Condition Details
Vinyl Condition (VG): The vinyl shows a few light surface scratches and faint cosmetic hairlines from handling. These are non-feelable and do not affect the sound quality. It plays through smoothly with a clear, strong sound.
Sleeve Condition (VG): Both the original glossy picture sleeve and the inner sleeve are in very good condition with typical light shelf wear for their age.
Dead Wax/Runout Etchings: Features the authentic "CP" hand-etched scribe, identifying this as an original German pressing.
Provenance Note: Includes a vintage collector's sticker on the back from the legendary Rhythm Records in Camden Town, London, a sign of its history as a quality import.
Release Information
This is the rare 1990 German 12" pressing of "Tristessa," which is notable for including the track "Honeyspider"—a song exclusive to this format and not found on the more common US 7" release. The title track is also a different recording from the version that later appeared on the band's debut album, Gish.
This is a must-have "holy grail" piece for serious Smashing Pumpkins collectors.
