The legendary Purple Tape — the first-ever Pixies recordings from 1987, officially reissued with new artwork and liner notes detailing the early history of the band. Recorded at Fort Apache Studios in Boston, these seventeen demos capture Black Francis, Kim Deal, Joey Santiago, and David Lovering at the very beginning, already channeling the loud-quiet-loud dynamics and surrealist songwriting that would reshape alternative rock forever.

You can hear the DNA of Surfer Rosa and Doolittle taking shape in these raw, urgent recordings — including early versions of "Here Comes Your Man," "Broken Face," "Down to the Well," and "Rock a My Soul" alongside tracks that never made it to a studio album. For Pixies fans, this is ground zero. Pressed on limited edition colour-in-colour purple and black vinyl.

Shipping
Orders typically ship within two business days. Media Mail might be budget-friendly, but it travels at a glacial pace and gets little love from the postal service. For faster, smoother delivery, choose USPS Priority or UPS/USPS Ground.

Returns
Unopened returns accepted within 30 days — you cover shipping.

If your record arrives damaged or folded (thanks, postal service), reach out ASAP so we can fix it.

After 30 days, it’s yours to keep forever.

Avoid extreme heat or sunlight. Definitely don’t let it mingle with any Justin Bieber records. Treat it like your grandma — gentle, respectful, and quiet during Murder, She Wrote.
