Come On Pilgrim has one of my favorite songs by Pixies, which is "Caribou". If the remastered edition, which is the ones coupled with "Surfer Rosa" is available at a price cheaper then the one just by itself I say it is worth it.
"Surfer Rosa" no matter what is with it is an essential album. I had an ex girlfriend who said she loved "Where Is My Mind?" because of Fight Club (who doesn't it seems) and I told her to buy "Surfer Rosa", she did and wound up thinking it sucked and took it back and bought Floyd or some crap instead... thought, uggghhh... give it more of a chance, let it grow on you.
"Surfer Rosa" to this day, has one of the best production sounds of all-time, it is just amazing... easily amongst the best Steve Albini has done, it is just magical sounding.
"Come On Pilgrim" may not be as good, but it is tacked on at the end of "Surfer Rosa", and is just bonus tracks on that edition. It is a single disc, not a double disc by the way.
Pixies at their best are amongst the greats, Pixies at their worst... are still great.
It may not be the best of Pixies, but it is not bad either. "Caribou" and "Nimrod's Son" are still cool.
I would say get that version.
