Cherry Red

Cherry Red is a British label that was founded by Iain McNay in 1978. Also known as Cherry Red Records, this label has become associated with the company Music and Media Group. With the label code LC 6730, Cherry Red has made a name for itself in the music industry. It is important to note that this label should not be confused with the US label of the same name.

The Primitives are a British indie pop band formed in 1985 in Coventry. After disbanding in 1992, they reunited in 2009. The band consists of Tracy Spencer on vocals, PJ Court on guitar, Steve Dullaghan and Paul Sampson on bass, and Pete Tweedie and Tig Williams on drums.
Known for their catchy melodies and jangly guitars, The Primitives gained popularity during the late 80s and early 90s with hits like "Crash" and "Way Behind Me." Their unique blend of indie rock and pop sensibilities set them apart from other bands of the era.
With their energetic live performances and infectious hooks, The Primitives continue to captivate audiences today. Their music remains influential within the indie pop genre, making them a must-listen for fans of alternative music.

Back In Stock

Back in the mid-80s, The Primitives combined the fuzz guitars of The Jesus and 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, kickstarting a craze in bands fronted by blonde female singers (Transvision Vamp, The Darling Buds et al). Lovely was The Primitives' debut album. Issued in April 1988 on the back of the success of Crash, it peaked at No. 6 in the UK, staying on the charts for ten weeks.

This 2-CD set boasts most of the band's B-sides and other rare tracks from that successful year, as well as including those hit singles in full: Crash (February 1988) No. 5, Out Of Reach (April 1988) No. 25 and Way Behind Me (September 1988) No. 36. Compiled with the help of guitarist PJ Court, this 2-CD compilation boasts re-mastered music as well as a splendid, annotated booklet boasting rare photos and personal memories from the band.
