There are two different periods in the history of The Primitives. The first is the era of Lazy Records and RCA, the era of 'Crash', of the breakup in 1992. But 2011 saw the special release of a new single from the band formed by Tracy Tracy, Paul Court and Tig Williams on the prestigious indie label Fortuna Pop! That becomes the starting shot of the second period, which is marked by their signing with Elefant Records and the release of two albums, 'Echoes And Rhymes' and 'Spin-O-Rama'. One of the group's defining qualities, in honor of their indie spirit, is the number of collaborations, participations, singles and lost songs that have been released in this second period. For those of you who are desperate to get their hands on some of them, we are releasing 'Let's Go Round Again o Second Wave Singles & Rarities 2011-2025', a double vinyl album with twenty-eight songs including previously unreleased tracks, rarities and A and B sides of vinyl singles, the majority of which are out of print.
There have been so many releases these last 14 years. From the four songs that made up that now legendary EP in 2011, 'Never Kill A Secret', to 'Sweet Sister Sorrow'. From the song that came out on the Girlsville compilation cassette to the singles released on the Georgia-based Happy Happy Birthday To Me (HHBTM) label, to the Part Time Punks radio session that they released themselves on an EP (and which also came out as a commemorative vinyl single for the 30th anniversary tour in Japan for their album 'Lovely'). And of course, there are countless singles, maxis, vinyls and other songs (like that gem for the Christmas album we put out in 2012) released on Elefant Records.
