Now, these five classic releases are going to be reissued as both Limited Edition and Deluxe Edition collector’s sets entitled Minotaur.

The Minotaur Deluxe Edition will retail for $175, while the Minotaur Limited Edition will be priced at $450. The Deluxe Edition will include all five Pixies studio albums – Come On Pilgrim (1987), Surfer Rosa (1988), Doolittle (1989), Bossanova (1990), and Trompe le Monde (1991) – on 24k layered CD and Blu-ray (five discs total), with reinterpreted artwork by Vaughan Oliver, the graphic designer who created all of the artwork that accompanied the Pixies’ studio albums. Also included in the Deluxe Edition …

Poorly edited as as well. Unwatchable.
That tip tip tapping is driving nails into my skull
PLEASE edit the typewriter sound effect out.
Chunks of Simon Larbalestier’s interview have been edited out. Seems like they omitted skepticism about there being no new material.
Brilliant!
