Pixies is an EP by the American alternative rock band of the same name, released in 2002 by SpinART Records in the U.S., Cooking Vinyl in the UK and Sonic Unyon in Canada. It consists of the remaining songs from the band's original 17-track demo tape (known informally as The Purple Tape), eight songs of which were released in 1987 as the band's debut, Come On Pilgrim.[8] All 17 songs were recorded by Gary Smith at Fort Apache Studios in March 1987.

"In Heaven (Lady in the Radiator Song)" is a cover of a song featured in David Lynch's 1977 film Eraserhead.
