“A sketch of an unvarnished, restless band, coolly bashing out its world-domination plan"- Rolling Stone
The legendary Purple Tapes- the first ever Pixies recordings from 1987, officially reissued with new artwork and liner notes detailing the early history of the band. Pressed on Limited Edition colour-in-colour purple & black vinyl.
Includes the original recordings of ‘Here Comes Your Man’, ‘Broken Face’, ‘Down To The Well’ & ‘Rock A My Soul’.
Formed in 1986 in Boston, Massachusetts, Pixies are one of the key acts associated with the late 1980’s American alternative rock scene and were also considered a big influence on acts such as Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins and Radiohead.
“These songs complete the picture of where the Pixies began, while hinting broadly at where they would end up – as a band very much unto their own”.
Joel McIver, 2025
