Pixies – Complete B Sides: 1988-97 (Remastered)
Pixies – Complete B Sides: 1988-97 (Remastered) celebrates the legendary alternative rock band’s groundbreaking 4AD era with a newly remastered collection of essential B-sides, rarities and live recordings spanning 1988 to 1997 — now officially available on vinyl for the very first time.
Originally released on CD in 2001 during the band’s hiatus, Complete B Sides has long been regarded as one of the definitive companion releases to the Pixies’ classic studio albums. The collection gathers fan-favourite deep cuts including “Wave of Mutilation (UK Surf)”, “Into The White”, “Bailey’s Walk”, “Manta Ray” and “The Thing”, showcasing the extraordinary creativity and unpredictability that made Pixies one of the most influential alternative bands of all time.
Remastered from the original analogue tapes by Kevin Vanbergen, this expanded edition sounds more vibrant and dynamic than ever, capturing the raw intensity, surreal songwriting and genre-defining quiet-loud dynamics that would inspire generations of artists across indie rock, grunge and alternative music.
Presented across deluxe double vinyl, this reissue also adds a full side of bonus live recordings, including explosive performances of “Debaser”, “Planet of Sound”, “Tame” and “Cactus”. The striking new artwork has been created by long-time Pixies collaborators Chris Bigg and Simon Larbalestier in tribute to the late Vaughan Oliver, whose visual identity became inseparable from the band’s iconic aesthetic.
A must-have release for Pixies fans and collectors alike, Complete B Sides: 1988-97 (Remastered) is both a fascinating historical document and a powerful reminder of why the band remain one of the most visionary and influential acts in alternative music history.
