[Pixies Live]
LAMF rebuznó:
¿Con Killing Joke de "teloneros"?
Hum, pues no recuerdo si hubo teloneros, pero Killing Joke no fueron seguro, porque también fui bastante fan de ellos (esos dos primeros discos!!!) y de haberlos visto no se me habría olvidado. A ver si un día encuentro la entrada y lo miro... A ver si fueron los Pale Saints, aunque creo que eso fue con los Wedding Present. No sé, ni idea.
[Pixies Rarities]
Cheshire s Katua rebuznó:
Tenía entendido que la Purple es lo que se reeditó como
Pixies con esta portada:
...
Si no es así, y me haces el favor de subirla, quedo agradecida y emocionada. Lo mismo para Rough diamonds. La intención era subir sólo los LPs, y al final se lió la cosa
OK, ya lo ha aclarado LAMF. Siete temas iban en el "C'mon Pilgrim" y el resto en "Pixies", así que huelga la redundancia
Si queréis ripeo y subo un par de golosinas:

29-31: Fort Apache Studio, Boston, 3/87
Length: 73' 33'' (31 songs)
Sound: from A to A+ Definitely the best existing Pixies boot!
31 tracks, all studio versions, among which:
- 5 only can be found on officially released CDs (one very rare)
- 9 only can more or less easily be found on other boots, but usually with a worse sounding quality!
- 17 are exclusive to this CD!
Certainly all BBC sessions are there (the first 20 tracks!).
The overall sound quality is excellent, and many of the alternate versions are quite exceptional, e.g. Into The White, a version of Wave Of Mutilation between the original and the UK Surf ones, two early versions of Down To The Well, a crazy version of There Goes My Gun, a rough version of Is She Weird?, and many others.
RD is also the only record to feature a Pixies version of Hang On To Your Ego. Frank Black has mentioned this BBC session as a first, weak attempt to make the Beach Boys cover. Personnally, I prefer the Pixies version to the Frank Black one: it is weirder.

29. I Can't Forget
Length: 70' 40'' (29 songs)
Sound: A+ (except Peel sessions: B+)
Note: 29 is not listed on the insert
2nd Edition = 3rd Edition - (18, 29)
B-Side File = 2nd Edition - (3, 4, 5) The B-side File is certainly the most famous Pixies boot.
There have been several editions of it, each new one extending the former with new tracks. The First B-Side File had 24 tracks, and the last one for now (3rd edition) has 29 of them (including a hidden track, which is I Can't Forget, the L. Cohen cover).
What does it contain? Nearly all EP B-sides (there is still one missing: the alternate version of River Euphrates on Gigantic EP), several other rare official tracks (Rock A My Soul, Down To The Well from 1987, I Can't Forget, Born In Chicago), and 4 BBC sessions. All the non-EP tracks are also featured on Rough Diamonds.
Official tracks originally on CD just sound as if the boot was a regular release. Sound quality for other tracks is not as good as on Rough Diamonds: there is a hiss in Down To The Well (transferred with Rock A My Soul from an original 7"), and the BBC sessions, though not bad, do not sound that good.
The B-side file is very interesting for those who don't want to buy all Pixies EPs/compilations. Another interest (even for those who have the B-sides) is that they are combined into a single CD. Non American purchasers will have the opportunity to listen to Motorway To Roswell (Instrumental), which was US-only. American purchasers will have the opportunity to listen to 75% of the tracks from Gigantic EP (not released in the USA).
Note: The 3rd edition's insert has a nice photograph of the group inside.

"Rough Diamond" son sesiones de estudio 1987-1991, buena calidad de sonido y cantidad de rarezas.
"B-Side File" son, como su nombre indidca caras B de maxis, alguna colaboración para recopilaciones (ese tremendo "Born In Chicago" para "Rubayat" de Elektra!!!), una Peel Session. Incluye la versión de Neil Young que comentaba LAMF, un "Winterlong" casi casi tan bonita como el original. Supongo que en el oficial "Complete B-Sides" ira todo o casi todo, pero bueno.
Si no los tenéis, silbad. Yo creo que valen la pena, pero claro, yo que voy a decir... ;)
