PRIMAL SCREAM – GIVE OUT BUT DON'T GIVE UP (THE ORIGINAL MEMPHIS RECORDINGS)

THE CAT CLUB (Classic Album Thursdays) presents a long playing vinyl record.

PRIMAL SCREAM – GIVE OUT BUT DON'T GIVE UP (THE ORIGINAL MEMPHIS RECORDINGS) with special guest Andrew Innes.

This interview took place before and after we listened to the vinyl album.

In 2018 Andrew Innes, Primal Scream's guitarist, found the original tapes of the band's recordings in Memphis of their album, Give Out But Don't Give Up in his basement. The tapes featured the original mixes of tracks recorded by producer Tom Dowd at Ardent Studios, Memphis, with the Muscle Shoals rhythm section in 1993.

The tracks had been reworked for the 1994 release of the album and the original tapes lay forgotten until Andrew's discovery. He played them to the band's singer, Bobby Gillespie who said, "They sounded really beautiful, really clear, well-produced; incredibly performed by all the players and musicians and singer - I was blown away when I heard it.”

ANDREW INNES was our special guest for this wonderful gathering. Primal Scream’s keyboard player, Martin Duffy couldn’t make it for this memorable event with his friend and fellow band member Andrew Innes. Sadly and tragically, Martin died on 18 December 2022.

In the interviewer’s chair was a friend of us all, MR GARY GUESTLIST.

This event took place on 13th July 2022 in the Pigeon Loft at The Robin Hood, Pontefract, West Yorkshire.
