PIXIES – MINOTAUR – Digital Press Release #2

Tuesday, May 31st, 2011


Some rock bands sound as fresh and valid today as when their albums first dropped. A perfect example would be the Pixies, acclaimed as the most influential, pioneering band of the late ’80s alt/rock movement. Over the course of five studio album releases from 1987 through 1991, the Boston-bred group – which included singer/guitarist Black Francis, guitarist Joey Santiago, bassist Kim Deal, and drummer David Lovering – created a body of work that spawned many alt/rock radio standards, and influenced countless subsequent bands, including Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and Radiohead. Now, these five classic releases are going to be reissued as both Limited Edition and Deluxe Edition collector’s sets entitled Minotaur. Spearheaded by Jeff Anderson, founder of A+R (Artist in Residence), who has put together expansive and eye-catching versions of releases by Nine Inch Nails, Beck, and Sigur Ros – Minotaur will be available for pre-order at www.ainr.com beginning Monday, June 15, 2009. The Minotaur Deluxe Edition will retail for $175, while the Minotaur Limited Edition will be priced at $450. The Deluxe Edition will include all five Pixies studio albums – Come On Pilgrim (1987), Surfer Rosa (1988), Doolittle (1989), Bossanova (1990), and Trompe le Monde (1991) – on 24k layered CD and Blu-ray (five discs total), with reinterpreted artwork by Vaughan Oliver, the graphic designer who created all of the artwork that accompanied the Pixies’ studio albums. Also included in the Deluxe Edition
