Description
Come On Pilgrim is the debut mini-LP release by the American alternative rock band Pixies, released in September 1987 by 4AD. In March 1987, Pixies entered Boston’s Fort Apache Studios with Fort Apache owner/record producer Gary Smith to record a demo tape. The resulting 17-song cassette, later dubbed “The Purple Tape” eventually found its way to Ivo Watts-Russell, president and co-founder of the influential British record label 4AD. Pixies’ manager, Ken Goes, was also the manager of Throwing Muses, who had become the first American band to sign to 4AD a year earlier.
