Pixies - Pixies At The BBC 1988-1991 (3LP)

Between 1988 and 1991 - during the band's 4AD years - Pixies recorded six BBC sessions, five for John Peel and one for Mark Goodier. Catching the raw energy of the band's live performances, these sessions felt immediately noteworthy. Originally released on CD in 1998, this package now sees all tracks from the six sessions included and presented in chronological order. Among the twenty-four tracks they recorded are favourites from mini-album "Come On Pilgrim" and three of their four 4AD studio albums. Also recorded were three covers; reworks of The Beatles' "Wild Honey Pie", Eraserhead's "(In Heaven) Lady in the Radiator Song" and The Beach Boys' Hang On To Your Ego".

Heavyweight triple vinyl produced by 4AD in 2024.
