Death to the Pixies

Death to the Pixies is a compilation album by the American alternative rock band Pixies, released by 4AD in the UK on October 6, 1997, and 4AD/Elektra the following day in the United States to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the band's debut. It covered the years 1987 to 1991. It is now out of print, having been replaced by the 2004 compilation Wave of Mutilation: Best of Pixies. A limited edition of the compilation also included a second CD with a live performance taken from Vredenburg, Utrecht, Netherlands on September 25, 1990. There was also another version of the limited edition, produced in extremely small quantities, that includes two rare "Black Francis Demos". This is known as the "Golden Ticket" version, and has GT appended to its catalog number. These demos, recorded in the apartment of producer Gary Smith the day before the band convened to record their full demo at Smith's Fort Apache Studios, feature only Francis singing and playing acoustic guitar. The complete "Black Francis Demos" were released as the first disc of 2004's Frank Black Francis 2-CD compilation.
