...other songs on this disc, similar to the first, are truncated, with many cuts halving the length of the original version. According to those subtle folks at 4AD, "this collection shows why the Pixies were one of the most respected, acclaimed and influential rocks bands of the late 80s and early 90s." Well, they were that, but this collection sure doesn't show anything beyond a minimal repertoire.
