The influential 4AD label was started in 1980 by music enthusiasts Ivo Watts-Russell and Peter Kent with financial help from Beggars Banquet, whose record store chain the pair worked for. Originally called Axis, they released an initial series of four 7" singles before finding out that the name Axis was already being used by another label. They quickly came up with a new name, 4AD, inspired by typography on a flyer announcing their releases. Under Ivo Watts-Russell's guidance, drawing influence from other UK indie labels such as Beggars Banquet, Postcard Records and Factory, 4AD quickly established a unique identity thanks to both the cover designs of Vaughan Oliver/v23 and the label's unique numbering system.

In 1992, 4AD entered a highly publicized Stateside distribution deal with Warner Bros. Records, opening offices in New York headed up by Robin Hurley. The label was largely run from California for most of the decade after Ivo Watts-Russell moved to Los Angeles in the mid-90s. In November 1999 it was announced that Martin Mills had taken over as chairman and relocated its HQ to London.

Decoding their unique numbering system reveals various formats like mail-order only releases (4AD), LPs (CAD), MP3 downloads (EAD), posters (FAD), videos (VAD) and more. The numeric portion of their catalog numbers

The album "Come On Pilgrim-It's Surfer Rosa" is the debut studio album by the American alternative rock band Pixies. It was released on September 28, 1987, by 4AD Records. This album showcases the unique sound and raw energy that would make Pixies one of the most influential bands of their time.

With a running time of just over half an hour, "Come On Pilgrim-It's Surfer Rosa" features eight tracks that blend elements of punk, indie rock, and surf rock. The album opens with the hauntingly beautiful "Caribou," setting the tone for what's to come. From there, listeners are taken on a rollercoaster ride through songs like "Vamos," "Isla de Encanta," and "Nimrod's Son," each offering its own distinctive sound and lyrical depth.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Where Is My Mind?," which has become one of Pixies' most recognizable songs. Its dreamlike melody and introspective lyrics create a sense of longing and confusion that resonates with listeners. Another notable track is "Gigantic," featuring Kim Deal on lead vocals, showcasing her powerful voice and adding a dynamic element to the album.

Produced by Steve Albini, "Come On Pilgrim-It's Surfer Rosa" captures Pixies' raw intensity in a way that few albums can. The combination of Black Francis' distinctive vocals, Joey Santiago's innovative guitar work, Kim Deal's melodic basslines, and David Lovering's solid drumming creates a sound that is both chaotic and cohesive.

This reissue of "Come On Pilgrim-It's Surfer Rosa" includes bonus tracks such as live recordings and demo versions of some songs. It also features enhanced artwork and liner notes that provide insight into the making of the album. Whether you're a longtime fan or
