EDICIÓN LIMITADA PARA TIENDAS INDIES EN DOBLE VINILO TRANSPARENTE
 
Continuando con las celebraciones del 40.º aniversario de la banda, y tras la estela de la primera edición oficial en vinilo de su brillante recopilación de caras B de 4AD, Pixies reeditan los álbumes de estudio Bossanova (1990) y Trompe le Monde (1991) en vinilo negro y en CD.
Estas reediciones cuentan con audio recién remasterizado, con el ingeniero Kevin Vanbergen habiendo vuelto a las cintas analógicas originales de la banda para entregar unos nuevos masters impresionantes que revelan, de manera emocionante, más capas de estos seminales discos.
 
Bossanova es el tercer álbum de Pixies. La banda siguió trabajando con Gil Norton tras haber colaborado con tanto éxito en su segundo álbum de ventas de platino, Doolittle. Su tercer álbum en otros tantos años, 1990 fue un momento especialmente fértil para la banda, ya que Kim Deal también cosechaba éxitos con The Breeders, que publicaron su álbum de debut Pod apenas unos meses antes. Con singles como 'Allison' (un homenaje al pianista de jazz y blues Mose Allison), 'Dig For Fire' y 'Velouria', además de la primera versión de un tema ajeno en uno de sus álbumes, 'Cecilia Ann' (originalmente de The Surftones), Bossanova mostró un lado menos primario de la banda, con el surf rock y el space rock tomando protagonismo. Letrísticamente, Black Francis resulta aún más críptico, con un tema de ciencia ficción recurrente a lo largo de todo el disco que, a su vez, influyó en el clásico diseño de planetas de Vaughan Oliver para la portada.

LIMITED EDITION FOR INDIE STORES ON DOUBLE TRANSPARENT VINYL
 
Coinciding with the band’s 40th anniversary, Complete B Sides: 1988-97 by Pixies has been remastered and is being reissued 25 years after its initial release on cd. This will also mark the first time the release is pressed on vinyl. Collecting all the b-sides from the band’s classic 4AD-era, Complete B Sides contains some of the Pixies best “other” tracks including “Wave of Mutilation (UK Surf)”, “Into The White” and “The Thing”.
Originally released on CD in 2001, when the band were nearly a decade into a hiatus, Complete B Sides: 1988-97 featured all 19 non-single tracks from the band’s unbelievable run of 1988-1991 singles. To complete it, it concluded with the instrumental version of “Letter to Memphis”, which previously only appeared on the US version of the release of the Alec Eiffel maxi-single.
And as there is space for more music across four sides of vinyl, this updated version sees six live tracks added, culled from latter Pixies releases including 1997’s Debaser re-release.
For this updated edition, all the tracks have been remastered from their original analogue tapes by Kevin Vanbergen, sounding amazingly fresh, it also completes his extensive work across the band’s catalogue.
This new vinyl edition works as a companion piece to the band’s recent Live at the BBC compilation where designer Chris Bigg (v23) has created striking new art, taking photos from Simon Larbalestier’s archive that were originally slated for use by the Pixies but later shelved. Both long-term collaborators with the band, they worked on both releases in tandem to remember and honour the band’s late-visual director, Vaughan Oliver.
