In 1994 Virgin released the B-sides /rarities compilation Pisces Iscariot which charted higher than Siamese Dream by reaching number four on the Billboard 200. Also released was a VHS cassette titled Vieuphoria featuring a mix of live performances and behind-the-scenes footage. For Christmas 1994 Corgan gave ten copies of an informally self-released five-CD box set, Mashed Potatoes , to close friends of the band. It contained early demos, interview snippets and live recordings dating from 1988 to 1993. Music journalist Ned Raggett called it “the holy grail of Smashing Pumpkins collectibles for the hardcore fanatic”. It became available online in the early 2000s.
