--- Quote from: ComfortEagle ---It was a tough choice but Surfer Rosa was on sale so I guess it wins.I also got The Toadies: Rubberneck.

I'm glad, because I was going to weigh in with "Surfer Rosa was my starting point and really it's a good one." Although what you ought to do now is go track down Wave Of Mutilation and get the single version of "Gigantic" from that, because it's way more fun than the regular album version.
The Hammered:
I really want to hear that. The re-done version of River Euphrates is excellent. Why couldn't they have included it on the B-Sides compilation/a Surfer Rosa reissue? Can you get that track alone on one of those download stores?
TynansAnger:
The BBC sessions are kind of unneccessary, except for one track: their cover of the Beatles' "Wild Honey Pie". That cover is too awesome for words.
E. Spaceman:
I don't agree, not only are they all fine tracks played in a more than fine fashion, but the versions of There Goes My Gun and Is She Weird? are far better than the album versions, the latter particularily spunds incredible and is one of my favourite Pixies tracks. Wild Honey Pie is awesome as you said too.
Aside from that, take tommy's advice.
The Hammered:
Agreed about Is She Weird?. I don't like the album version at all, but I love the BBC version. Generally the versions are better than on the albums. I also prefer the version of In Heaven to the B-side by far, especially the different ending, but I also heard the BBC version first, so I could be biased. The fast version of There Goes My Gun is excellent, but to my surprise it didn't ruin the album version for me. The album version just has a different atmosphere to it.
