Pixies - Bossanova LP + 7" - Dinked International Edition


Pixies - Bossanova LP + 7" - Dinked International Edition
As they celebrate their 40th Anniversary with an international tour, Pixies are releasing songs from their vault that are otherwise unavailable, dating from 1987 to 1991, as part of remasters of their albums Bossanova and Trompe le Monde (due out September 11, 2026 via 4AD). In addition to being reissued on CD, digital and standard black vinyl formats, two special limited-edition vinyl pressings, exclusive to Dinked’s newly launched Dinked International Editions, will contain four unearthed songs – “Dig For Fire (Albini Version)”, “Go Man Go”, “Brackish Boy”, and “Punk Loop”.
Dinked's new expansion as "Dinked International Editions," is in partnership with 50 stores in the UK, Ireland and the USA, including Grimey’s! This exclusive Bossanova oxblood vinyl package will include a 16-page, 10” replica of the original UK booklet (featuring incorrect track-listing) and a 7” of the songs “Dig For Fire (Albini Version)” and “Go Man Go”. (Trompe le Monde is available to preorder here on sky blue vinyl and includes a 7” with the songs “Brackish Boy” and “Punk Loop”.
Bossanova was remastered by Kevin Vanbergen, who has been working through the band’s tape archive to create new Dolby Atmos mixes as well as high-res masters of the band’s catalogue (including their Live at The BBC and Complete B-Sides compilations).
Side A of the Bossanova 7” is a Steve Albini recording of “Dig For Fire” recorded in late 1987 during the sessions for Surfer Rosa, and sounding far removed from the version they released almost 3 years later. Side B is “Go Man Go” a once near-mythical Black Francis and Kim Deal co-write that was recorded by both Pixies and The Breeders during the album sessions for Bossanova and Last Splash respectively but failed to make the cut for either. Outside of appearing on a bootleg tape of Breeders demos and them airing it a few times live at the time, the song faded from view until 2023 when, upon discovering the lost master for it, The Breeders included their version on their 30th anniversary reissue of Last Splash.
Released 9/11/26, Pixies’ Bossanova LP + 7" (Dinked International Edition) is available here on limited edition Oxblood colored vinyl LP with black vinyl 7”.
*Preorders for store pickup will be held for three months after release date. Please pick up your Bossanova preorder no later than December 11th, 2026.
