Hi guys,
Reissue news
Demon Records is proud to present a new series of vinyl reissues from American singer-songwriter Black Francis / Frank Black.
The first release in this new series is ‘Christmass’, a collection of acoustic performances from Frank Black’s 2006 US solo tour. Recorded both live on stage and in hotel rooms whilst on the road, the album includes tracks from across Black’s career.
Highlights include stripped-back renditions of Pixies’ classics ‘Where Is My Mind?’, ‘Cactus’ and ‘Wave Of Mutilation’ along with
‘I Burn Today’, ‘Bullet’ and ‘Nadine’ from Black’s solo albums. This new definitive vinyl edition is pressed on two 140g ‘cactus’ green vinyl.

Live at the Hotel Utah Saloon? Was that a solo or full band show? Seems to have completely passed me by whatever it is...
Anyway, seems strange to have some 'actual' FBF news. Almost makes it feel like the good old days..! |

Asked the same question myself and quick Google search came up with this. Vaguely remember there was the USB show thing from blackfrancis.net back in the day but totally forgot about it.
Looking at tracklist is this the same show where the live tracks from Christmass are from? |

The Hotel Utah Saloon is a solo acoustic gig with lots of banter. The tracklist is great (Space Is Gonna Do Me Good!) but if I remember well it's from those days when he'd do weird versions of his songs (you know, the sloppy Cactus version). I haven't listened to it in a while, will give it another go.

Merci beaucoup! I remember a few shows around that time with great banter, eg 6 million dollar man! Great that these are getting a release.

Just noticed something, since an ad for the reissues was just posted on the Pixies FB page:
“Christmass is a collection of songs recorded in hotel rooms, nightclubs, and even a few actual recording studios. Some are standard live repertoire and some are new songs never to be revisited again, well, until now, sort of, so see what you think as needles drop.”
Should we understand "revisited" as "reissued on this vinyl edition", or as "ah, screw Pixies, I'm doing a solo acoustic tour in 2021"?
Ah well, it's nice to dream a little...

I vote for your dream! That would be awesome. Second to a solo FB tour would be seeing him do the unthinkable, which is have the 2.0s play FB stuff when they tour again. Either one would be terrific. Thirdly would be seeing him play some solo FB stuff from his couch on vimeo or something. |

Just saw the ads for this today on Facebook - woohoo! About time!!! Can’t tell you how excited I am about these, particularly Honeycomb, FMRM, Svn, and Bluefinger.
I had a bad reaction to your public hobby writings. |

List posted above doesn’t include FMRM but it’s on this list, although this article does mistakenly state that Christmass was only previously available on CD... I have the original pressing on black vinyl.

The first vinyl edition was already a reissue if I remember well. The original release was CD only.
Denis
Right, but it was released on vinyl before, whereas that article said it was previously only available on CD
