Cooking Vinyl kindly bring us a bunch of Pixies tracks which were recorded around the Come On Pilgrim time. Nine tracks in total and these are apparently the tracks or demo versions which never made it onto Come On Pilgrim but some of which surfaced onto later albums. The majority of these have been bootlegged to fuck over the years. A best of demoes album I'd say. One for Pixies completists but if you don't own any Pixies albums then it's well worth geting. More interestingly though I want to know why this has come out on Cooking Vinyl and not 4AD. I suspect something unpleasant but if anyone knows please let me know cos I always like a bit of gossip.And finally don't you think Cocking Vinyl is a better label name or am I just being hideously childish once more In March of 1987, the Pixies; Black Francis, Joey Santiago, David Lovering and Mrs. John Murphy recorded seventeen songs at Fort Apache Studios in Boston. From this collection, which has subsequently come to be known amongst die hard Pixies' fans as "The Purple Tape," eight songs were chosen to comprise the Pixies' first album, Come on Pilgrim. Cooking Vinyl presents the remaining nine tracks on this new release, Pixies. In addition to the original version of "Here Comes Your Man," this collection features "Rock a My Soul" as well as the studio version of "In Heaven" previously only available as live track on the single "Gigantic." Pixies' nine songs are part and parcel of the history of a ground breaking band displaying the off kilter themes and mix of turbulent sounds which reverberated throughout the band's abbreviated career; a career that itself reverberated throughout the ensuing ten years.
