quote:Originally posted by Troubles A Foot Hey, can anyone confirm if the songs themselves sound this distorted and low quality, or is this just this person's digitization?
My copies sound similar to these rips when listening on my turntable. They aren't final polished produced songs, they are roughs/demos.
I understand that, but the distortion sounds like vinyl or transferring distortion to me and not like a demo quality thing. Demos aren't usually distorted, despite being of lower than studio quality. We have other Pixies demos and rarities that do not have distortion, etc.

Agree with what's been said above. 'Punk Loop' is particularly interesting. I could swear there was a Trompe era TV appearance where the band launched into a similar sounding instrumental (like the descending chords from the 3:20 mark) after the applause for having played one of the Trompe songs. But can't find it anywhere (had thought it was one of the Dennis Miller appearances). Perhaps a false memory!
