Primitives - Galore - 2CD Deluxe Edition

Back in the mid-80s, The Primitives combined the fuzz guitars of The Jesus & Mary Chain with the pop sensibilities of Blondie and a nod to cult heroes The Velvet Underground. They swiftly rose from being a popular Indie guitar outfit to charting worldwide with Crash, kick starting a craze in bands fronted by blonde female singers (Transvision Vamp, The Darling Buds et al). Co-produced by Ian Broudie, Galore was The Primitives third and last album for RCA. Issued in 1991, the album was criminally ignored by a pop scene enamoured with Madchester and Grunge and has been long unavailable on CD. Despite its musical strength, fashions had moved on and The Prims disbanded in 1992. The Primitives profile has not been as high since their heyday, what with the release of a brand new studio album in October, Spin-O-Rama, which followed their reunion album Echoes And Rhymes (2012), as well as Cherry Reds 2-CD compilation of the bands pre-RCA recordings, Everythings Shining Bright and a deluxe edition of Lovely.
