Once upon a time, a sold-out tour ordinarily followed the release of a new album, but though those days are gone, PIXIES, who don’t have a fresh platter out, decided to revisit, a quarter of a century down the line, their “At the BBC” collection to expand it and issue not only as a 2CD set but also as a triple vinyl package. All in all, there were six Beeb sessions that the band recorded during their 4AD tenure, between 1988 and 1991, and the old comp cherrypicked 15 tracks from the transmissions, while “Live At The BBC” – this is the title of the new one – gathers everything which was played then: 24 numbers, including the cover of THE BEACH BOYS’ “Hang On To Your Ego” (better known as “I Know There’s An Answer”).
