Side A of the Bossanova 7” is a Steve Albini recording of ‘Dig For
Fire’ that’s sure to excite both fans and music historians. Recorded
in late 1987 and during the sessions for Surfer Rosa, Steve’s version
is very different to the single they released almost 3 years later,
which famously incorporated “sample-type sounds” on a Pixies record
for the first time. A coarser sound, as you would expect from Steve
Albini, this version highlights just how far ahead of the rest they
were at the time. A real treat.
Side B is ‘Go Man Go’, a once near-mythical Black Francis and Kim Deal
co-write that curiously 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, it faded from view until 2023 when upon discovering the lost
master for it, The Breeders included it on their 30th anniversary
reissue of Last Splash. Similarly, whilst working on remixing the
Pixies catalogue in Dolby Atmos, Kevin Vanbergen stumbled on a
recording of it in the Bossanova session tapes so with a light touch,
worked on mixing it so to complete it over 35 years on.
