spinART Records releases Pixies, a collection of 9 tracks previously available only in bootleg form.
From Salon Audio:
"In 1987 indie rock group the Pixies recorded a 17-song demo cassette at Fort Apache Studios in Boston. Fans came to know of it as the hard-to-find "purple tape." That demo got the Pixies a deal with record label 4AD, which used eight of the tracks for the band's debut EP "Come on Pilgrim," released that same year, yet the original versions of the nine other songs have existed only as bootlegs."
Also available on Salon, the version of Subbacultcha from the album.
Am in the process of ordering it as we speak. :-)

This CD is only about 25 minutes long. But of course, I had to buy it anyway! :)
