The Purple Tape!

Before the indie rock scene was blown wide open by Nirvana in the early '90s, the Pixies loomed large on college radio. By taking standard pop formats and turning them inside out, the band laid out the new Commandments of alterna-rock for a whole new generation of would-be grunge rockers. In March of 1987, as the Pixies were just beginning to gain a reputation around the Boston area, they recorded their first demo (known by Pixies fans as The Purple Tape). This demo landed the group their first record deal with 4AD, and the 8 songs that appear on their first album Come On Pilgrim were culled from this same demo. However, there were 9 more songs that didn't make the cut, and these are the songs that are found here. It is both musically satisfying and interesting to hear the Pixies at their very beginnings, before they crossed paths with the mighty Steve Albini.
