“Reverberations (Travelling In Time)” is the debut Primal Scream album that never was: 16 perfectly formed pop nuggets weighing in at just under 35 minutes. Boasting eleven previously unreleased BBC session recordings plus all five songs from the band’s first two Creation Records singles.
The Primal Scream debut that never got released with bonus never-before heard BBC live sessions. A gem amongst the great treasure chest of indie.
“Reverberations (Travelling In Time) – BBC Sessions & Creation Singles 1985-1986” is being released a week today on Friday 28th July.
The album gathers 11 previously unreleased John Peel and Janice Long session recordings, plus all five tracks from the band’s first two Creation singles – with sleeve notes by Bobby Gillespie, Bob Stanley, and the original guitarist / co-songwriter Jim Beattie.
“This music proves we really had something special going on back then. I’m really proud of this album, I’m glad these sessions are finally being released.” – Bobby Gillespie.
The LP is beautifully packaged in a gatefold sleeve with specially commissioned artwork by by renowned British illustrator and designer Julie Verhoeven. The record also includes a printed inner sleeve plus a large format 8 page booklet with essays by Bob Stanley, Jim Beattie and Bobby Gillespie and 28 period photographs of the band.
