message: "Is She Weird", track 6 of this compilation, is listed as "Recorded for the John Peel show, June 11, 1990, first transmitted August 10, 1990", which is almost what it says in the CD insert (my copy says August 20). 
Ken Garner's The Peel Sessions book doesn't list a Pixies Peel session in 1990. The Pixies page of the John Peel Wiki at Fandom says that this was actually a Black Francis solo recording, transmitted on 21 June 1990. I have confirmed this by way of original research, i.e. listening to a bootleg recording of that show, which features the four Black Francis tracks, the repeat session from Kings of Oblivion listed for that 21 June in the Garner book, and running discussion of the England–Egypt and Ireland–Netherlands football matches played on that date in group F of the Italia '90 World Cup. Peel says "the only performer you are going to hear" is Black Francis, so presumably that includes the bass and drums on those tracks that feature it.
All four tracks are on the new Pixes at the BBC, 1988-91 compilation released in 2024 (and whether that's a new thing or a new edition of this album is another issue that I have raised at Talk: Pixies (band)). It lists them as produced by Pixies and first broadcast on August 20, 1990 (i.e. the same day as the Goodier session, the week after the release of Bossanova).
David Cavanagh's history of the Peel show, Good Night and Good Riddance, discusses the 20 August 1990 show (pp. 452–3) but doesn't mention a Pixies or Black Francis session.
What do you do when the "reliable" sources (which in this case are just CD/LP sleeve notes) are, apparently, wrong? -- rbrwr± 14:00, 13 April 2024 (UTC)
