The first thing that's worth saying about this is that it plays really well. I bought this when it came out, it was in my mother's bedside cupboard stored horizntally in a pile of other records for twenty years before I recovered it. It still plays like a record I bought yesterday.
I saw Pixies shortly after I bought this. At university with a good friend. They planned a blinder. I never really felt the need to see them again. Black Francis' cheeks blew out like a bullfrog for most of the evening. Joey Santiago has never really ever got his due.
Kim Deal seemed high as a kite but it was probably just on life, she came and hung out for healf an hour with the revellers in the university hall after the gig. She was as excited as anyone. Like all the best bands they seemed necessary. They stand in their own space.
