The Purple Tape is the name given by fans to the Pixies' original 17-track demo tape, recorded at Fort Apache Studios in March 1987 by Gary Smith, due, quite simply, to its mostly purple appearance. Eighteen tracks were recorded in the session; a cover of Larry Norman's "Watch What You're Doing" was cut from the final tape. Eight of the tracks were released in 1987 as the band's debut, Come on Pilgrim and the remaining nine were released under the title Pixies in 2002 by Sonic Unyon records.
