Continuing their 40th anniversary celebrations, Pixies announce previously unreleased songs dating from 1987 to 1991 as part of remasters of their albums Bossanova and Trompe le Monde being released on 11th September. In addition to being available on CD, digital and standard black vinyl formats, two special limited-edition vinyl pressings exclusive to Dinked’s newly launched Dinked International Editions will contain four unearthed songs – ‘Dig For Fire (Albini Version)’, ‘Go Man Go’, ‘Brackish Boy’, and ‘Punk Loop’. 

Dinked's new expansion as "Dinked International Editions," is in partnership with 50 stores in the UK, Ireland and the USA. Their exclusive Bossanova oxblood vinyl package will include a 16-page, 10” replica of the original UK booklet (featuring incorrect tracklisting) and a 7” of the songs ‘Dig For Fire (Albini Version) and ‘Go Man Go’. Trompe le Monde will be available on sky blue vinyl and include a 7” with the songs ‘Brackish Boy’ and ‘Punk Loop’.

Bossanova and Trompe Le Monde were both remastered by Kevin Vanbergen who has been working through the band’s tape archive to create new Dolby Atmos mixes as well as high-res masters of the band’s catalogue, including both their Live at The BBC and Complete B-Sides compilations (the latter due out on 26th June).

Side A of the Bossanova 7” is a Steve Albini recording of ‘Dig For Fire’ that’s sure to excite both fans and music historians. Recorded in late 1987 and during the sessions for Surfer Rosa, Steve’s version is very different to the single they released almost 3 years later, which famously incorporated "sample-type sounds” on a Pixies record for the first time. A coarser sound, as you would expect from Steve Albini, this version highlights just how far ahead of the rest they were at the time. A real treat.

Side B is ‘Go Man Go’, a once near-mythical Black Francis and Kim Deal co-write that curiously was recorded by both Pixies and The Breeders during the album sessions for Bossanova and Last Splash respectively but failed to make the cut for either. Outside of appearing on a bootleg tape of Breeders demos and them airing it a few times live at the time, it faded from view until 2023 when upon discovering the lost master for it, The Breeders included it on their 30th anniversary reissue of Last Splash. Similarly, whilst working on remixing the Pixies catalogue in Dolby Atmos, Kevin Vanbergen stumbled on a recording of it in the Bossanova session tapes so with a light touch, worked on mixing it so to complete it over 35 years on.
