The Pixies continue to dig into their archive. Over thirty years after the release of “Bossanova” and “Trompe Le Monde”, the Boston band will release new reissues of the two albums enriched with hitherto unreleased recordings. Remastered editions of the 1990 and 1991 discs will arrive on September 11th for 4AD. Alongside the standard versions, two limited editions on vinyl will also be available, called “Dinked International Editions”, accompanied by bonus singles in 7″ format containing previously unreleased material.
For “Bossanova” the extra content includes a version of “Dig For Fire” originally recorded with Steve Albini during the “Surfer Rosa” sessions. Among the rarities there is also “Go Man Go”, a song co-written by Black Francis and Kim Deal. A different interpretation of the song had already been recorded by the Breeders during the “Last Splash” sessions and subsequently released in a reissue, but this will be the first time that the Pixies' version will officially see the light of day.
The reissue of “Trompe Le Monde” will also offer two additional recordings. The accompanying single will include “Brackish Boy” and “Punk Loop”. A later version of “Brackish Boy” would later appear in 1993 on Black Francis' self-titled solo album, released under the name Frank Black. “Punk Loop”, on the other hand, seems to be a sound experiment that has remained completely unreleased until now.
The new editions of “Bossanova” and “Trompe Le Monde” will be available from September 11th. The pre-order of the two reprints is available here and here.
