Pixies   ??/??/1939

Rough Diamonds, Various, Various
Source Length: 73:33 (31 songs)
Sound: from A to A+
Definitely the best existing Pixies boot!
31 tracks, all studio versions, among which:
- 5 only can be found on officially released CDs (one very rare)
- 9 only can more or less easily be found on other boots, but usually with a worse sounding quality!
- 17 are exclusive to this CD!
Certainly all BBC sessions are there (the first 20 tracks!).
The overall sound quality is excellent, and many of the alternate versions are quite exceptional, e.g. Into The White, a version of Wave Of Mutilation between the original and the UK Surf ones, two early versions of Down To The Well, a crazy version of There Goes My Gun, a rough version of Is She Weird?, and many others.
RD is also the only record to feature a Pixies version of Hang On To Your Ego. Frank Black has mentioned this BBC session as a first, weak attempt to make the Beach Boys cover. Personnally, I prefer the Pixies version to the Frank Black one: it is weirder.
