Album extras

My favorite part of owning CDs is being able to read through the included booklets, especially if there's extra material like commentary from the band included. Since most of the actual production information + lyrics are already well-documented online, I'm just going to be transcribing extra pieces of interest here.

I know that there's another website that fills this niche, but consider these more tailored to my interests.

Alice in Chains - Music Bank (1999) - Includes a biography written by Peter Fletcher and track-by-track notes by Jerry Cantrell.

The Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness (1995, 2012) - From the 2012 slimline reissue. Includes a foreword by David Wild and track-by-track notes by Billy Corgan.

Nirvana - With The Lights Out (2004) - Starts with a comprehensive timeline of the band's history, followed by an anecdote by Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth, and a short writeup by Neil Strauss.
