Pixies at Glasgow Barrowlands some six weeks ago was a real highlight in terms of live performances in 2016. Ok, there was no Kim Deal and I’d be lying if I said things were just the same without her, but Paz Lenchantin is a very capable replacement on bass and occasional vocals and to be fair, she’d never dream of taking a turn on Gigantic.
But she did play her part in a great rendition of another of Kim’s lead vocals, one that was originally released as the b-side to one of their best known singles:-
mp3 : Pixies – Here Comes Your Man
mp3 : Pixies – Into The White
The 12″ release, which incidentally is easier to track down than the 7″, had two additional tracks:-
mp3 : Pixies – Wave Of Mutlilation (UK Surf)
mp3 : Pixies – Bailey’s Walk
The former, a new version of a track from the then parent LP Doolittle, was recorded at the Palladium Studios in Edinburgh, a favourite of 4AD boss, Ivo Watts-Russell. It was where he did much of his work with This Mortal Coil.
Enjoy.
my favourite pixies sleeve
and into the white is magnificent
Great 12″, four class A songs.
No throwaways here. Have always loved that slower version of Wave of Mutilation, but tough to knock the album version too. Really just a perfect single.
there was a time when they’d play both live during their sets…!
classic track
