The set won't include any live tracks, and the folks in charge are still figuring out what to do about bonus tracks. But there will be bonus artwork.  The Deluxe Edition, which will go for $175, will include the albums on 24k layered CDs. It'll also include a Blu-Ray DVD featuring a 1991 Brixton Academy show and all the band's videos, along with additional artwork and a 54-page book. The whole package will come with a slipcase.


Want further proof being a Pixies fan now makes you old and apparently flush with nostalgia and expendable income? There's a $450 Limited Edition version, which comes in a custom clamshell. It will feature all the albums on 180-gram vinyl, along with a Giclée print of Oliver’s artwork and a 72-page hardcover book.

Last night, rumors about a new Pixies album hit the web after this image appeared on ainr.com (Artist In Residence):

Well, it turns out Minotaur will not be a new Pixies studio album, but a box set of all their studio albums, with revamped artwork and extras. The set will be available in both Limited Edition and Deluxe Edition forms and will include the band's four albums and the Come On Pilgrim EP. Vaughan Oliver and Simon Larbalestier, the photographers who shot the covers for those albums, will be in charge of the repackaging.

Artist in Residence founder Jeff Anderson told Rolling Stone that the albums won't be remastered because he didn't want to touch the original masters.
