What do I mean by "forgotten songs"?

Have you ever heard of "Watch What Your Doin'" ? I've read in a book that track was the 18th, uncredited song from the original Purple Tape.

What about "Little Hope"? The same book said that song was recorded in 1986 on the tape used by the group in order to make their place in bars and clubs of Boston.

And who knows "Loop" here? I've heard it would be a "Velvet-esque" and lost track from TLM...

Thank you for your help

Interesting...I've heard of Watch What You're Doin' (isn't it a cover?), but not the others...are they early versions of official songs?

There's a version of "Watch What Your Doing" by Frank and Larry Norman floating around, but I haven't heard the Pixies version.
I've never even heard of "Little Hope" or "Loop".

No, apparently those are original songs, not just early versions.
I'm really surprised that so few people here have heard about those songs.

I've heard 'Loops' mentioned; could it be that jam that the band launch into at the end of one of the old TV appearances.

I remeber them launching into "Paranoid" after some TV appearances.

Hmm, I've never heard of any of these. I'd be very interested if anyone has any more info on them.
