Tristessa

"Tristessa" is the second release ever by The Smashing Pumpkins. It is also their only release on Sub Pop. 4,000 copies of the 7" were pressed in pink wax and the rest were pressed in black. Because of a failure to change wax about 100 were pressed in grey.

Recording and Release
The song was originally recorded for Sub Pop in Summer of 1990 and released in December of the same year. Like "I Am One" it was re-recorded for Gish in winter 1990-91. However, it was not given a second single release.
