Frank Black 93–03 is a compilation album by Frank Black, released in June 2007 by Cooking Vinyl.[1] It highlights the 10 years of his solo career after disbanding the influential alternative rock band, the Pixies in 1993, as well as songs from the many albums he created with backing band "the Catholics".[2] Included also is material from his next solo album, Bluefinger, in the form of a hidden track, "Threshold Apprehension". Each release comes with a second disc of live recordings, which varies depending on the region the album was released in.[3] All live tracks were recorded during Black's fall 2006 North American tour.[4][1]
