Pixies Live At The BBC (Vinyl 3LP 12") Black [NEW] Pixies at the BBC, 1988-91 is being released on March 8th on 4AD.



Between 1988 and 1991 – during the band’s 4AD years – Pixies recorded six sessions for the BBC, 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 in this period (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 Pixies Live At The BBC (Vinyl 3LP 12") Black [NEW] Pre-orders will be dispatched to arrive on or just after the UK release date. Orders will be charged upon checkout. Scheduled Release Date: 08/03/2024. Please note that on rare occasions release dates are subject to change by the record companies.
