The PIXIES LP x 3 Doolittle 25 - B-Sides, Peel Seesions, Demos 180 Gram AUDIOPHILE - UK LIMITED EDITION -

TRI-FOLD-OUT SLEEVE

+ PROMO INFO SHEET

To celebrate its 25th anniversary, 4AD will release Pixies’ ‘Doolittle 25’, a deluxe package that brings together for the first time the album’s B sides, Peel Sessions and demos from the time,malong with the original album. Nearly half of the tracks on this album are being commercially released for the first time.

‘Doolittle’, the second studio album from Pixies - Black Francis, Joey Santiago, Kim Deal and David Loverng - was to prove a pivotal moment for both band and the wider scene. For the few years prior, the band had enjoyed cult status in their homeland with their early records having to find their way in to the US on import. Their secret was well and truly out in 1989 though when their British label (4AD) joined forces with American giant Elektra in time for ‘Doolittle’ to receive a full domestic release.

Produced by Gil Norton and recorded between two studios (Downtown Recorders in Boston MA and Carriage House Studios in Stamford CT) in late-1988, ‘Doolittle’ was an instant hit, containing some of the band’s most memorable singles (‘Monkey Gone To Heaven’, ‘Here Comes Your Man’, ‘Debaser’). A slow-burn success story followed, helping them to sell in excess of a million copies in the US alone.

Included among the many plaudits thrown ‘Doolittle’’s way was Pitchfork ranking it at Number 4 in their Best Albums Of The 80s poll, while NME writers in 2004 named it their Second Best Album Of All Time.

The band toured ‘Doolittle’ in 2009 to celebrate the album’s 20th birthday and now, 5 years on from then, it’s time to give it the deluxe release treatment it deserves.

A gatefold 3LP version is also being released, with 180g black vinyl being pressed - the first containing 6 B sides and 2 full Peel Sessions and the second being the album in complete demo form plus 3 bonus tracks. A download card is included, offering access to all LP tracks plus 4 more bonus tracks.

Like all other Pixies sleeves before it, all other Pixies sleeves before it, Vaughan Oliver returns to oversee its design, reinterpreting his original artwork and Simon Larbalestier’s photographs to create a stunning design using metallic ink.
