The legendary Purple Tapes — the first recordings by Pixies from 1987 — are officially reissued by Cooking Vinyl, complete with new artwork and liner notes tracing the band’s earliest days. Captured before their rise to prominence, these sessions include raw versions of ‘Here Comes Your Man’, ‘Broken Face’, ‘Down To The Well’ and ‘Rock A My Soul’.

Formed in Boston in 1986, Pixies became a defining force of the late-1980s American alternative rock scene and a crucial influence on Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins and Radiohead. As Joel McIver notes, “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.”
