March 8 street date. 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, timestamping a moment when Black Francis, Kim Deal, Joey Santiago, and David Lovering were motoring out front. Among the twenty-four tracks they recorded (inc. two doubles - "Allison" and "Wave of Mutilation") 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". Originally released on CD in 1998, this package now sees all tracks from the six sessions included and presented in chronological order. "Pixies At The BBC 1988-91" arrives for the first time on a limited edition triple black vinyl LP and a double CD set, now featuring a brand new black and gold sleeve design from Chris Bigg, who pays loving tribute to the band's late-visual director, Vaughan Oliver, using unseen archival Pixies imagery by long-time collaborator Simon Larbalestier.
