The Aeroplane Flies High is a five-disc boxed set released by The Smashing Pumpkins. It contains expanded versions of the five singles from their album Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, and also included a 44-page booklet with pictures and writings by the band's lead singer Billy Corgan, as well as lyrics. A limited edition release, the box reached #42 on the Billboard charts, and sold 300,000 units (1.5 million discs in all), generating a platinum disc for the band. Originally intended to be limited to 200,000 copies, Virgin Records produced more after the original run sold out due to overwhelming and unexpected demand. It should be noted that this collection does not include the song "Infinite Sadness", which has only been released on the vinyl version of Mellon Collie as the closing track, and also for digital download on their Rarities and B-Sides collection.
