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). Co-produced by Ian Broudie, <i>Galore</i> was The Primitives' third and last album for RCA. Issued in 1991, the album was criminally ignored by a pop scene enamoured with Madchester and Grunge and has been long unavailable. Despite its musical strength, fashions had moved on and The Prims disbanded in 1992. 

This 2-CD set boasts all of the band's B-sides and other rare tracks from 1991/1992, including the singles 'You Are The Way', 'Lead Me Astray' and 'Earth Thing' from the Spells EP. Also included is the 'Re-Ravishing Mix' of 'You Are The Way', previously available only on a promotional 12". 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.
