The Primitives: Everything’s Shining Bright, the Lazy Recordings 1985-87 2CD
Primitives (The)

• Named after their planned Lazy Records album, which was abandoned when the band left the label.

• Seven of the ten previously unissued tracks stem from those scotched LP sessions.

• Also unearthed is the band’s very first demo from 1985, consisting of three tracks including a dry-run through their eventual hit ‘Crash’.

• 2CD set also boasts their promo-only live album at the ICA.

• Their entire Lazy output from that period.

Compiled with guitarist PJ Court, this 2CD compilation boasts remastered music as well as a beautifully annotated booklet boasting rare photos and personal memories from the band.

Back in the mid-80s, The Primitives combined the fuzz guitars of The Jesus & Mary Chain and the pop sensibilities of Blondie with a nod to cult heroes The Velvet Underground. They swiftly rose from being a popular Indie guitar outfit to charting worldwide with ‘Crash’.

Between 1985 and 1987, the band issued five singles/EP’s on independent label Lazy Records (also home to My Bloody Valentine and later Birdland) before signing with RCA.
