PIXIES 'COME ON PILGRIM' LP

Label: 4AD Vinyl Release Date: 09/28/2018 Original Release Date: 09/28/1987 Variant: Vinyl LP "Amazingly, the Pixies’ 1987 debut EP, Come on Pilgrim, was compiled from the quickly, inexpensively made demo tape - paid for by Black Francis’ dad - the band made at Boston’s legendary Fort Apache studio soon after they formed. 4AD was so taken with the tape that they released eight of the songs as this mini-album. It’s easy to see why they were so impressed: The Pixies’ essential sound - Francis’ unearthly shriek of a voice, David Lovering’s propulsive drumming, Joey Santiago’s insistent, prickly guitar playing, and Kim Deal’s sugar-and-sandpaper vocals and steady bass lines - arrives fully formed like the bouncy, yet twisted, surfer-girl ode ‘Ed Is Dead.’" - All Music Guide Tracklist: 1.
