The "rarities" comp from Pixies will include many hard to find Peel
sessions along with other cool rare stuff.  The retrospective from
Cocteau Twins is being compliled currently by Ivo Watts-Russell.

And, shock of shocks, they're doing another half-assed job.  Why not
include ALL of the tracks they recorded for the BBC, a la Bauhaus's
_Swing the Heartache_?  There will obviously be two minutes of space left
over that could've been filled by "Tame", recorded for John Peel on Oct
18, '88 (a bootleg of which I have for sale, oh happy coincidence).
Sure, it might've taken two discs to fit all of the songs on there (and
even that is debatable)...but the only people that will be buying this
release are the ones that wouldn't hesitate to pay a few bucks extra for
a second disc, anyway.  I mean, if you're going to bother doing something
like this, you might as well do it *right* and make it comprehensive.  Oh
well...let the inevitable barrage of double-CD-plus-7"-singles and other
limited-edition bullshit begin!

a mid price release containing 15 trcks including never before on CD
tracks "Wild Honey Pie" (a Beatles cover) and "(In Heaven) Lady In The
