I was lucky enough to find the Planet Of Sound EP on tape in 1994 in Northampton, MA. I forget, but I think that when Pixies EPs came out on cassette it was done through, or with, a Canadian record label. I ended up finding the Velouria EP on tape too; I'm pretty sure it was at the old Newbury Comics on Cape Cod. This was in the late 90s and I don't think it's there anymore.
After Belly's Star, I think my favorite back cover of an album is the Pixies's Trompe Le Monde. The colors are bright and bold, and those (cow?) eyes are creepy and beautiful. The photo itself is amazing, and the lettering makes it look like a poster for a 1960s Roger Corman horror movie.
