Pixies are set to celebrate their 40th anniversary by reissuing the band's Bossanova and Trompe le Monde albums on vinyl and CD on September 11th.
The albums, which will be available in limited-edition vinyl pressings with 7-inch singles, will feature unreleased songs, including the late Steve Albini's version of "Dig for Fire," recorded in late 1987 Pixies' Surfer Rosa sessions.
The remastered special "Dinked Edition" of Bossanova will come on oxblood colored vinyl with a bonus 7-inch containing "Dig for Fire (Albini Version)" and "Go Man Go." The "Go Man Go" track was written by Black Francis and Kim Deal during the sessions for Bossanova and The Breeders' Last Splash, but it was only unearthed recently.
The limited edition of Trompe le Monde is pressed on sky blue vinyl and includes a 7-inch featuring the previously unreleased "Brackish Boy" and "Punk Loop."
Kevin Vanbergen remastered both the albums.
Billboard Modern Rock chart hits, "Velouria" and "Dig for Fire" were part of Bossanova, which was Pixies' follow-up to their 1989 breakthrough album, Doolittle,
Trompe le Monde, which was the band's final album before their initial breakup, was their last to feature bassist Kim Deal.
