To celebrate its 25th anniversary, 4AD release Pixies: Doolittle 25, a deluxe package that brings together for the first time all the album's B-sides, Peel Sessions and demos from the time, along with the original album.
Doolittle, the second studio album from Pixies - Black Francis, Joey Santiago, Kim Deal and David Loverng - was to prove a pivotal moment for both band and the wider scene. For the few years prior, the band had enjoyed cult status in their homeland with their early records having to find their way in to the US on import. Their secret was well and truly out in 1989 though when their British label (4AD) joined forces with American giant Elektra in time for Doolittle to receive a full domestic release.
Produced by Gil Norton and recorded between two studios (Downtown Recorders in Boston MA and Carriage House Studios in Stamford CT) in late-1988, Doolittle was an instant hit, containing some of the band's most memorable singles ("Monkey Gone To Heaven", "Here Comes Your Man", "Debaser").
3CD contains an impressive 50 tracks with the original album on disc one, 2 full Peel Sessions and 6 B-sides on disc two and the complete album in demo form plus 7 bonus tracks on disc three.
