Does anyone have a digital booklet for Come on Pilgram and also for Surfer Rosa?
Come on Pilgram vinyl doesn’t have any liner notes 😭 (haven’t opened Surfer Rosa yet)
So wanted to know if anyone could share a pdf or scans of the booklets from the cd’s? Also for other records. I want to purchase a few other vinyls too. I have some, and also some cd’s but want to complete my collection with vinyls
Some artists like Tori Amos often gived digital downloads of booklets so it’s not unheard of.
If anyone can help, please let me know.
I just listed one ticket for tomorrow's Boston show.

Bought tickets ages ago and am SO SAD I'm not gonna be able to make it. They are around $65 including fees on the site, but I really don't want them to go to waste and am happy to take below face/best offer. Transferable through the AXS app. I also have them listed for resale there if that feels safer/better, but no best offer option there.
Love the lead guitar work on this live version of Headache, from one minute-forty eight seconds (it warned me for typing numbers!) to the end. Would anyone experienced be able to point me in the direction of what scales etc I should look at to try to figure this out?
Many thanks!

Does anyone know if they're selling TOTY Tour posters?

Hey folks,
So, I bought four tickets to the Detroit TOTY show: one each for my wife and I, and two more for some friends.
Unexpectedly, the other three people have all had to back out and I am now going alone.
This puts me in a real financial bind, because we were going to be driving together and sharing lodging, but I have had to buy a last-minute round-trip plane ticket from Savannah, GA and get an Airbnb all by myself!
I absolutely MUST sell these extra three tickets, to throw that money back into my now ridiculous travel expenses...
Detroit's St. Andrew's Hall is a way-cool, historic venue, and the floor is General Admission, so we can all get as close as possible to the stage.
If you, or ANYONE you know is considering going to the Detroit show, PLEASE buy one of my tickets as a Face Value Exchange, rather than getting one from the venue.
It means a great deal to me and would be most appreciated!
The link is below. It's completely legit, and handled through Ticketmaster. As per FBF's request, these are being offered for exactly what I paid for them and not a penny more. They are $52.50 each.
This is not an anonymous scam. For reference, I'm Peter Radiator on FrankBlack.net, and have been following and writing about FBF's music since a couple of weeks after Come On Pilgrim was released.
I hope fans here on the subreddit (or their friends) can use these, and help me to cover my insane expenses to get there and back...

"Picking up on the momentum of college rock, largely stirred up by bands like R.E.M., The Replacements, and Hüsker Dü, Pixies released one of the most impressive debut albums of all time, Surfer Rosa. Where Is My Mind? became the most celebrated track from the deeply lauded album and has unexpectedly found itself as one of the most revered and appreciated songs of the decade. Beyond the impact the song and record had on the grunge scene just around the corner, the track stands as a powerful statement to creativity and pure artistry. Joey Santiago’s innovative guitar work, paired with the vocal brawn of Black Francis, turned this track into an alt-rock staple. Even outside the alternative realm, it remains not just one of the best rock songs of the decade, but one of the greatest of all time."
Debaser was #28, Here Comes Your Man was mentioned at 127, outside of the top 100.
I'm not too familiar with The Pixies, but wanted to listen to more of their stuff. after a few unsuccesful attempts of finding songs i like, I found Here Comes Your Mab and absolutely loved it, but have yet to find any other pixies songs i like as much as that one. Do they have any songs in a similar style/vein to Here Comes Your Man?
I've been looking for the poster for this night for a long time and decided to finally make a post since my patient wait has gone unrewarded for over a year now. I went to the show with my mates back in school and didn't get a poster and have been wanting to find it to complete memories of that era. But my search has been so fruitless I've begun to wonder if there even was a poster. Any help would be appreciated on finding a copy or even know what to look for (does it even exist?).
Many thanks in advance.
