Pixies<\/a> have announced the release of their \u2018Complete B-Sides: 1988-97\u2019 album on vinyl for the first time, which will see all tracks remastered.<\/p>\n

The new announcement comes in celebration of the Boston band celebrating their 40th anniversary \u2013 having already announced a UK and European tour for 2026<\/a> and lined-up numerous festival appearances for this summer.<\/p>\n

Now, they have confirmed the re-release of their \u2018Complete B-Sides: 1988-97\u2019 album, 25 years after its initial release.<\/p>\n

The record first dropped on CD in 2001 and contained 19 B-sides from their classic \u20184AD\u2019 era which ran between 1988 and 1991. Songs included \u2018Wave Of Mutilation (UK Surf)\u2019, \u2018Into The White\u2019, \u2018Bailey\u2019s Walk\u2019, and \u2018The Thing\u2019, and it dropped as the group were almost a decade into a hiatus.<\/p>\n

Set for re-release on June 26, the record has been remastered and will be arriving as a 40th anniversary edition. As well as being released as a double CD, the record will also be pressed onto vinyl for the first time.<\/p>\n

The original tracklist spans three sides of vinyl, and for the first time there will also be a fourth side of bonus live tracks added. These feature six tracks culled from latter Pixies single releases including 1997\u2019s \u2018Debaser\u2019 re-release. Visit here<\/a> to pre-order.<\/p>\n

The new release comes as a companion piece to the recent reissue of Pixies\u2019 \u2018Live At The BBC\u2019 compilation. For that, designer Chris Bigg created new art for the cover, using photos of Black Francis<\/a> and co. from Simon Larbalestier\u2019s archive that were previously shelved.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

As part of their UK tour dates, next month will see Pixies play a huge UK outdoor gig at On The Mount at Wasing<\/a>. Festival dates include a headlining slot at Bearded Theory<\/a>, an appearance at NOS Alive in Portugal<\/a>, and a spot at the 10th anniversary edition of Mad Cool in Madrid<\/a>.

Their ninth and latest studio album, \u2018The Night The Zombies Came\u2019<\/a>, was released in 2024. Speaking to NME around that time<\/a>, the group discussed the possibility of performing more of their classic albums in full on tour after doing so with \u2018Trompe le Monde\u2019 and \u2018Bossanova\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a fan, I love those things,\u201d said Joey Santiago. \u201cWe went to \u2018Aja\u2019, the Steely Dan<\/a> show. It\u2019s incredible knowing that it\u2019s going to be all of \u2018Aja\u2019 and right behind me were all the drummers \u2013 Danny [Carey] from Tool<\/a>, Josh Freese, Pat Wilson were all behind me watching it.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m just saying Steely Dan\u2019s cool\u2026The only thing about doing it in order is that Charles and I have to switch guitars. So there\u2019s a lot of that going on, so it disrupts the show a little bit. But we like doing it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Pixies have announced the release of their \u2018Complete B-Sides: 1988-97\u2019 album on vinyl for the first time, which…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":640557,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[53],"tags":[16126,88,216],"class_list":["post-640556","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-alternative","tag-entertainment","tag-music"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/640556","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=640556"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/640556\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/640557"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=640556"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=640556"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=640556"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
