Smashing Pumpkins reissues

Has anyone heard the Smashing Pumkins reissues yet? I ordered them on vinyl (Siamese Dreams and Gish) and look forward to hearing them. In fact I see several online stores are sold out of Siamese Dreams already. Cheers.

I got mine just tonight and just put on Gish. I have to say on first listen to one side, I like the first pressing better. Mine was flat and quiet but seems closed in. I will have to do a side by side comparison this weekend.

I have the originals, and they sound pretty good.
(So unless I can get copies for a cheap price, I will probably not bother with the reissues, unless you, or someone else, gets back to me stating that they sound better than the originals.)

Any idea if they are going to reissue either "Pisces Iscariot" or "Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness"?
(I have those too, but my brother-in-law would love it if they were to reissue them so he could get copies at a reasonable price.)

I think mellon collie is going to be reissued next year. I paid dearly for one of the 20K originals and it has been worth it. I think it might be the best LP that I own - I don't know if it is because of it being rare or what, but I love the SP and I love that album.
