Primitives - S/D, C/D, etc

jazzed for the new album. on the covers album i don't think they had any renditions as good as their Tears Go By.

The new album is fantastic! It renews my faith in reformations, it's just so damn fun. Paul's songs are particularly good. Fuzzy girl-group goodness.

yeah this album is really really good. ironically my favourite (though it's tough competition) track is the one that the bloke sings

New EP out now!

Jealous to see that they've got a few California dates planned for next month. Loved seeing them in NY in 2010.

It's more goodness from the Prims. Anyone know what triggered the reformation in the first place? Definitely one of the most satisfying ever.

I need to look into that.

Anyone know what triggered the reformation in the first place?

From what I've read Paul (guitar) was considering trying to get everyone together for a 20th anniversary Lovey celebration in 2008, but dropped the idea when he found out Tracy was living in Argentina. But he got in touch with her the following year when their original bassist died, and by then she'd returned to Coventry. A local gallery was organizing an exhibit on the Coventry music scene that year and invited them to take part and it all followed from there.

Attention must be paid: I heard "Crash" last night in a public setting for the first time ever, the restaurant we go to after golf. I asked the waitress where their music was coming from--a streaming service, their own mix, etc.--but she never got back to me.

Anyone else willing to rep for "Galore"? It was totally ignored when it came out - no US release, guess it was subsumed by the grunge wave. But it's always been just as vital to me as their first two.

I keep "Lead Me Astray" on my hard drive--love that.

Heck yes!

• Also includes four previously unreleased recordings.

• Sleevenotes include fresh interviews with core duo Tracy Tracy and Paul Court.

Full tracklisting up as well.

Cool, great to have in one place though most of that has been released in various places.

I wonder if they're planning a follow-up to 2014's excellent "Spin-O-Rama" LP.

As an aside, does this mean that all the old Lazy catalogue is available for reissue? Because there's a chunk of old mbv also on the same label.

(and, er, birdland)

I think I'll be getting this. I only have the Lazy compilation and a few singles

koogs - dunno about that - the Primitives' Lazy stuff has been reissued a few times already so that's not a new development

This is one of things my little sister liked but I couldn't be bothered, being in academia and whatnot.

Loving their catalog now...so many things I didn't have time for in the 1990's.
