PRIMAL SCREAM Vinyl & CDs

Review: You are sure to have your favourite Primal Scream tracks but did you know there was a whole selection of them recorded early on that never ended up getting realised as once intended. Well now you can get your hands on them in an array of CD and vinyl forms. This is a limited gatefold version of Reverberations (Travelling In Time) which has 16 perfectly formed pop nuggets. Five of the tunes are from singles released early in their careers and the other 11 tunes are previously unreleased BBC session recordings that all perfectly captures what many believe to be a crucial era for one of the UK's most important groups.

Review: Perennially indie-dance favs Primal Scream might be best known for albums like the seminal Screamadelica but did you know they wrote an album that never was? Reverberations (Travelling In Time)' is just that - a debut that wasn't a debut. It lasts just 35 minutes but has 16 perfectly formed pop tunes on it, 11 of them previously unreleased BBC session recordings, and the final five are tunes from their earliest singles on Creation Records. Here the record is pressed up on translucent blue vinyl in limited quantities and includes newly commissioned artwork and a large format booklet with extra context.

Review: In 1991 the UK is in a very different place to the one it occupies today. One thing that hasn't changed in the 30 years between then and now, though, is how incredibly, unbelievably good Primal Scream's Screamadelica was. And still is.

It might have been the studio mastery brought to the mix by the late, great Andrew Weatherall. Perhaps it hit the nail on the head of a year when the country's rock and dance scenes finally met somewhere on the outskirts of Blackburn, or along the M25. Maybe, just maybe, it's because the tracks themselves are just great. Whatever your personal take, this album should be on everyone's shelves. From the hedonism of 'Loaded' to the pseudo-rave euphoria of 'Come Together', and the self love of 'Movin' On Up' always inspires, the record is of its time but resonates through the ages.
