Pixies Classic Albums Reissued On Vinyl

Back by popular demand ! 4AD are proud to announce that the first three Pixies albums are now available again - this time on heavyweight on 180gm vinyl.

and from www.indieworkshop.com

4AD have announced that have re-issuing the first three Pixies albums on heavyweight on 180gm vinyl. The mini-album Come On Pilgrim (1987), Surfer Rosa (1998), and Doolittle (1989) have all been long out of print on vinyl and are now available with complete original artwork. Doolittle also includes an insert featuring lyrics.




So.... where's Trompe? Jo? Trompe? I won't be fooled again.

lucky me has all pixies on vinyl - even the subbacultcha bootleg and aaaall the 45's. would be interesting for how much i could trade them - not that i consider that, but it would just like to know...

but anyways, what do you mean with the white border ?

and really, it seems that some people including the band itself would like to pretend that thhere never was a post-doolitle period...very sad !

I have Trompe Le Monde on vinyl but never noticed the white border thing. I'll have to check if my copy has it. It's not the original release, it's a '98 reedition.

I was able to order COP from a local record shop. I've now got all the albums on LP, that were released on LP, and all the 7s except for Alec. And three live's on LP to boot.

I scored the reissues of Come on Pilgrim and Doolittle on Wednesday, and Surfer Rosa is being FedEx'ed to me as we speak.

Doolittle in particular sounds really, really good on vinyl.

I can't wait till Surfer Rosa shows up.

....it's funny cuz it's true.

I have them all on cd, but as I was "transient" then I have them all on cassette, so I think now is the time to buy some vinyl.

Bossanova and Trompe Le Monde were never in this first batch of reissues. We've put the first three albums out, and it's possible the others will follow - but don't expect it to be in a couple of months!

I think they will happen - it'll just take a while - we had to regenerate the artwork, the vinyl itself, all of it - it's quite a job...

also, to be fair, when I posted on here about it originally, a few months back, I did say it would only be the first three albums... so it wasn't like anyone wasn't prewarned!

I've heard "Come on Pilgrim" reissue through my new amp this sunday. Great quality. I've got the original "Bossanova" and isn't as good as this.

It's me or it sounds different to the CD version? I mean, it's obvious it must sound different, but the vinyl seems more focused on bass and drums and vocals sounds lower. I played the same song at the same time changing the amp channel and the difference is quite notable. Any comments?

I have Surfer Rosa and Doolittle on vinyl (the original versions) and much prefer them to the CD versions. I don't know what it is, they just sound way better...

I'm struggling with 4AD's online store, it doesn't allow me to add anything to the shopping cart. Anyone else had similar problems?

The same happened to me. I tried it on another computer and worked well. Try with a higher IE version.

our store and IE 6 don't work well - try lowering your security levels to low or medium, or try using netscape... that's a common problem (there's a note on the front of the store about it)... new shop in the new year though, so it'll be a thing of the past soon... thank god!
