Entre 1988 e 1991, os Pixies gravaram seis sessões para a BBC, cinco para John Peel e uma para Mark Goodier. Capturando a energia bruta das suas performances ao vivo, estas sessões são a prova provada do estado de graça absoluta em que se encontravam Black Francis, Kim Deal, Joey Santiago e David Lovering.

 

Edição em 2CD e 3LP com o selo da 4AD, Pixies at the BBC, 1988-91 inclui versões para Wild Honey Pie dos The Beatles, (In Heaven) Lady in the Radiator Song da banda sonora de Eraserhead e Hang On To Your Ego dos The Beach Boys.
