Wax Treasure (Vinyl)

[prpx]

hard to choose the best album by favourite artist - but this is the one that does everything for me. sure, surfer rosa was exciting, also my introduction to pixies, a slap on the face, and then doolitle and even bossanova. still, this one. no way i was going to miss this 30th anniversary edition.

Great album @prpx

Subbacultcha is one my fave Pixies tracks

However, it is Doolittle for me, just too many hits. It opens with the screams of Debaser and closes with a masterclass of the Pixies' loud quiet loud with Gouge Away.

We all have our favs which is fun, but everything they did up to 91 was the shit.

Trompe Le Monde was the first Pixies album I got, way back in the early 90s. Not sure it's my favourite of theirs per se, but definitely the one with the most memories.

the original 4+1 are all great but for me it will always be 'Bossanova' which is my favourite, plus I got it then with this beautiful misprint cover

[prpx]

kudos to all of you, those awkward people brought us so much unforgettable music. just wonderful

@Bridger said in Wax Treasure (Vinyl):

the Pixies' loud quiet loud with Gouge Away.

IMO that's their signature song

100% @endo

The space. The timing. The build. Deal's backing vocal coming in. The wailing guitar. The stark lyrics.

2 mins 42 seconds of fuck off genius!

I think there is a quote from Bono, being one of the biggest bands in the world after Joshua Tree saying they were uncool having not heard Surfer Rosa yet.

Buying Vinyl willst traveling is always a challenge.

Shrink was ruined by accident.

This ones story isn’t short … in between my 10 minutes for records during our family trip to Hamburg.

Snatched this, around 30*seconds away from the RubiLotti we stayed in. Sure some forum members can recognize.

On hold and now full of expectations.

Don’t trust the Hype about this record ..

@GraemeE Impossible Germany is such a good song, their best I think.

[GraemeE]

@NickD i think @SKT son would agree after the show they saw in Springfield this week

[seawolf]

Loving all of the Pixies love in here!

@GraemeE true story

The legend of Sleepy John Estes

[truby]

Recent additions. I spin discs though….

[seawolf]

That's quite a haul!

For unknown reasons, I played side B at first.
It threw me in!
Sound over the headphones is incredible so far.,,

@GraemeE this photo reminds me of the swifts at Chapman. Have you ever seen them go into the chimney there? Its rad when a hawk swoops through and takes one.

[GraemeE]

@Inorganic most definately - in recent years its been 100% wholesome family fun watching them each year

If we are talking 20 years ago we would get absolutely barbecued and just stare at the swirling birds

[Inorganic]

@GraemeE haha! that's awesome.
