Description
“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.
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
