Available with Vinyl records London. New Vinyl Records Pixies Between 1988 and 1991 during the bands 4AD years Pixies recorded six sessions for the BBC, five for John Peel and one for Mark Goodier. Catching the raw energy of the bands live performances, these sessions felt immediately noteworthy, timest&ing a moment when Black Francis, Kim Deal, Joey Santiago and David Lovering were motoring out front.Among the twentyfour tracks they recorded in this time period inc. two doubles Allison and Wave of Mutilation are favourites from minialbum Come on Pilgrim and three of their four 4AD studio albums. Also recorded were three covers reworks of The Beatles Wild Honey Pie, Eraserheads In Heaven Lady in the Radiator Song and The Beach Boys Hang On To Your Ego, a track Black Francis covered a few years later on his debut Frank Black solo album.Differing from the original 1998 compilation, this reboot sees all tracks from the six sessions now included and presented in chronological order. The sleeve is also new with a wonderful black and gold design by Chris Bigg now adorning it. Chris pays loving tribute here to the bands latevisual director Vaughan Oliver, using unseen archival Pixies imagery by longtime collaborator Simon Larbalestier.
