The Aeroplane Flies High was a five disc box set released by the Smashing Pumpkins after the release of the two disc album Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness. This included the Zero EP which included the Pastichio Medley which was a medley of 73 songs that the band recorded during this time in various states of availability. So the album contained 28 songs, followed by a further 19 songs from the box set not including covers or duplicates, and of the 73 songs from the medley 23 were found. That gives us a total of 70 songs which is more than the 57 songs that were recorded for the album. Nevertheless it means we have a lot of material to go through. The first half of the album is all electric and mostly includes the 1979 and Zero EPs. The second half of the album is all acoustic and mostly includes the Tonight, Tonight & Thirty-Three EPs.
