Album Info

Release Date: 1989

Label: Halo Records

Known for being the first release by The Smashing Pumpkins.

According to Barry Waterman of Halo Records:
"The Light Into Dark project started with a bang at the official release party at Cabaret Metro on March 17, 1989. To kick things off, I splurged and hosted an industry party with free food (well, pizza) and open bar (only thing that mattered) downstairs at the Smart Bar for whatever media and industry people I could rustle up. As the records themselves were not ready (what a surprise...), I instead gave out the now semi famous cassette sampler tapes with one song from each of the six bands on the record."
