Yesterday I picked up The Purple Tape 2 for $20. I just put it in my computer here at work and the track listing on my monitor is full of errors (e.g., listing Silver twice, Manta Ray twice..). Plus the tracklisting on the back insert is screwed up too. I've scanned in the front/back cover but can't figure out how to post them here. Most of the tracks sound like the Doolittle Demos (from the Give Me Ecstasy boot) but there are a few I haven't heard previously. A live version of Planet of Sound & Tame is interesting. Hang On To Your Ego, Pixies version, is cool. Gigantic has a different vocal take and some guitar tuning up at the beginning. Different guitar takes too. Isla de Encanta has different guitar parts too with people applauding at the end. At the bottom of the cd back insert it says "Brazilian compilation of rare tracks licensed from Cooking Vinyl." So perhaps this is an official release? I'd guess though that it's a bootleg with the tracklisting errors.

My guesses:
Planet of Sound / Tame -- the Motorway to Roswell EP had these two on it;
Hang Onto Your Ego -- this'll be the one off Rough Diamonds: BF and a drum machine;
Gigantic -- either the single version or a version with J Mascis (which I've never heard -- must go look!);
Isla de Encanta -- sounds like a (Dutch?) radio session. It's on one of the Death to the Pixies singles.

it sounds like a bootleg, seems a little weird that Cooking Vinyl would license something that 4ad have some rights to, and nobody knows about it :)
crafty... but those bootleggers got their credits all mixed up...!
where did you get it? Ebay? |

I've seen this as Newbury Comics in Boston. Is it worth $22?

Bob is head of Direct Marketing at Cooking Vinyl. Actually, you could also ask Keith, who's a big FB fan.
