2LP - Pixies - Complete B-Sides: 1988-97 (Pre-Order)

2LP - released June 26

Originally released on CD in 2001, while Pixies were almost a decade into a hiatus, Pixies Complete B-Sides: 1988-97 contains 19 b-sides from the band’s classic 4AD era (1988-1991), featuring beloved tracks including “Wave of Mutilation (UK Surf)”, “Into The White”, “Bailey’s Walk”, and “The Thing”. As Pitchfork said in their glowing 9.6 review, “If nothing else, this release proves that, like Dylan in the 60s and Brian Eno in the 70s, the Pixies were the blinding visionaries of the 80s. Virtually everything they touched was groundbreaking and revelatory, leaving one to wish they could only have touched more.”

Remastered from original analogue tapes by Kevin Vanbergen, the tracklisting neatly fits across 3 sides of vinyl, with a fourth side featuring bonus live tracks culled from latter Pixies single releases, including 1997’s Debaser re-release.
