The Purple Tape is the name given by fans to the Pixies' original 17-track demo tape, recorded at Fort Apache in March 1987 by Gary Smith, due, quite simply, to its mostly purple appearance.
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.
Absent from both "Come On Pilgrim" and the 2002 "Pixies" CD, some believe it is being kept aside by someone, perhaps Gary Smith, for future release.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Pilgrimages
The inflow of pilgrims was enormous every year till the great spoliation under Henry VIII (Wall, 130-40).
Each pilgrim who wrote an account of his travels for the instruction and edification of his fellows was unconsciously laying the foundations of a new science; and it is astonishing how very early these written accounts begin.
But the connexion between the pilgrimages and these plays comes out much more clearly when we realize that the scene of the martyrdom of the saint or some legend concerning one of the miracles was not uncommonly acted before his shrine or during the pilgrimage that was being made to it.

 Pixies: Fyfeopedia Music Reviews
The subject matter of Come on Pilgrim is far less esoteric than on later releases; it does begin with his tribute to reindeer ('Caribou'), but marginal topics like incest and STDs are more familiar to rock and roll than Francis' later interests.
Come on Pilgrim is consistently engrossing, but its short length counts against it, and Francis' vocals and Santiago's guitar are more controlled and less interesting than on later releases.
Surfer Rosa is coupled with Come on Pilgrim on CD, and it would probably be fair to up the rating half a star for the complete package since the total number of fantastic songs increases, and both releases are more noteworthy for their handful of amazing songs rather than sustained brilliance.

 The Pixies
Yeah, Come On Pilgrim is basically just a brief 20 minute starting point for more triumphant successes (which is why it doesn't get a higher rating), but for a 'career jumpstart' EP, it's still damn consistent and interesting on its' own.
Coming in a close second to that, though, is "Motorway To Roswell", maybe the best 'Pixies epic' you can find, at an incredibly lengthy 4:43 - that odd vocal approach is unusually affecting as the 'last night, he could not make it...' lines are sung, the 'he started heading for the...

The Come On Pilgrim EP, the Pixies first album, began as a demo tape cut in March '87 for less than $1000.
Record label 4AD signed the band after hearing the demo, and released eight of the songs as Come On Pilgrim.
