Primal Scream Peel Session 1985

[@marsch8276]

Marvellous! Met Bob G once back in 90 or 91 in Frankfurt at the bar of that club, Batschkapp or so, I have difficulties to remember, but it must have been great

[@SonicSisterUK]

Bobby G was at his most adorable when the Primals were like a Sarah band. Thanks for posting! : )

[@iancopestick6757]

I agree, when I bought " Sonic Flower Groove ", I was really disappointed. Their first two, or even three singles were awesome. Why did they try to become a ROCK band ? We've had way too many of them already.

[@chrisdavie8163]

@@iancopestick6757 Agreed.

Brilliant the Scottish Byrds 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@LULUBELLEIII]

This era of Primal Scream's career has been cruelly overlooked - by themselves as much as anyone else! Maybe one day they'll do an expanded Sonic Flower Groove with all the missing singles and b-sides, sessions, etc. One can but dream...

[@chrisdavie8163]

They'll be all dead before that happens...

[@infinite_vortex]

they are reissuing the album with b-sides, new mixes and more!

[@JohnSmith-cw5hs]

@@infinite_vortex that's awesome

[@sunsetman22]

prayers have been answered (sort of)

[@goldminetrash]

this was a slice of heaven before they became..."The Primals" -- the dip in the lush valley between the extremis of early Jesus &the Mary Chain and "Screamadelica"

[@chchalmers3294]

OMG I'm right back listening to my John Peel festive fifty tapes. Forgotten treasures 😊

[@Isobellyjellybean]

You're welcome! Their older stuff took all the fuss out of buying birthday pressies for a year or so. I'd just buy friends a copy of Sonic Flower Groove, which bemused them at first as I did this in 1998-9.

[@FF-so3su]

Love the first LP❤️😊👍

[@Isobellyjellybean]

First track is Aftermath from Sonic Flower Groove, third track is Crystal Crescent - a single from 1986 (I think) - it is posted elsewhere on You Tube, fourth track is Subterranean. I've only ever heard Subterranean as part of this session. These were on a Peel Session broadcast by the BBC. You're welcome.

[@FF-so3su]

Love you ; a classic 👍

[@pedrinhosangrento]

YOU'RE THE ONE FOR ME

[@chrisdavie8163]

Anyone else got a homemade Primal Scream album of all their early sessions, early singles and early live recordings?

[@ElGreco1541]

Thank you for uploading this. (:

[@BillySnaddon]

Primal Scream before they were shit. Beautiful.

[@ukpunk1]

So jangly!!!! Nice.

[@fernandoandrade5807]

great!

[@edsimnett]

Anyone else hear Morrissey's Everyday is Like Sunday (released ~3 years later) in the second track here (I Love You)?

[@mungofinalfi4480]

Haven't noticed before, but I get what you mean! No wonder I love both songs.

[@timjackson197]

A great band from mid-80s until 1990. Everything after that was rubbish.

[@edsimnett]

To be fair we could have stopped making this sort of music after Big Star recorded Third in the mid 70s :-)

[@FF-so3su]

Wonder what happened to Jim Beattie?

[@marcusaiello7100]

He formed the bands Spirea X and Adventures in Stereo with his lobgtime girlfriend. He was also hyper egotistical and believed he was god

[@pieterkock695]

what they did after this made commercial sense but these hits all sounded a little cheap as well. Rolling Stones ripoffs with Happy Mondays beats or something if you wanna listen at it with a sceptic ear. This first stuff sounds way more timeless and 'honest' if that word means anything to you. (less staged) With Velocity Girl as their absolute peak.

[@bluemoonmcfcfans4754]

Sounds like the Stone Roses
