There supposedly will be Zwan merchandise when the Zwan reissue is released via Zuzus. Hoping for 2026?.
Billy gave some information about some Zwan tracks on his latest substack posting. Detailing a song called A Man Without Country. It seems co written w Matt. Prob won't release it. Also a song Angels in Dallas. Written for WPC solo album, Zwan made a studio demo of it.

He has no actual clue what most fans actually want and insists on all sorts of overly elaborate new packages and mythology and updated versions of things when people really just want him to issue all the stuff he has. I'm glad he's doing ANYTHING, but, man, he can be frustrating.
WPC said he had 4 alt original covers for MSoTS. He didn't think they had been shown. Probably would NOT be using original art. Katelan Foisy would probably do it (Machina Box set). This is very disappointing, imo.
Most of the sessions WPC has mentioned that he has for sources: Salt Lake City, Sage & Sound, Shrimp boat, CRC, SIR NYC, Rehearsal tapes, Live shows, SPUN, Studio and Promo acoustic, Hideout. That's most of them.
Another update from the public substack video (30th anniversary MCIS). WPC mentioned Hideout shows, some missing for the moment. Also found impressive tapes of the whole band practicing album and non album tracks. Tons of material. 🤞🤞

Do you ever debate whether or not to wear a shirt publicly because the artist's publicists have been super shitty to you recently??? That's where I'm at tonight...
There was another update yesterday. It seemed more focused. He detailed basically all the items he has. Lots of demos from various studios and sessions, almost every live show, the Spun Dat tape. He thinks of 2 remasters possibly w a selection of tracks from all these sessions.
Billy mentioned the Zwan boxset on his substack. He started working in it. Hasn't he already said this? He won't do video. Prob will remaster it. Almost all shows were taped. Spun masters are lost. He doesn't know what they have.
@davidpajo if you ever found those cds where you, Matt, @PazLenchantin @jccomplex were rocking Zwan songs...before WPC recorded over them...I'd pay good money for a copy!
The answer is always #Zwan

Tiny bit of #Zwan talk toward the end of this podcast.
Interesting podcast w Billy featuring lots of vinyl talk. @thevinylguide and seems like Billy gave a "shoutout" to @spfcdotorg m.youtube.com/watch?v=BDYRyO…
From the substack world of @Billy , Zwan reissue slated for 2026, could come out bits at a time. SPUN movie tracks likely separate release. billycorgan.substack.com/p/s…
