The Primitives / The Lazy Recordings 1985-1987
British indie band The Primitives will soon be releasing a new compilation through Cherry Red Records entitled Everything’s Shining Bright – The Lazy Recordings 1985 – 1987.
The compilation, due out in March, brings together tracks from all the singles recorded for their own label Lazy (hence the title), before they signed for RCA in late 1987.
In addition, this two-CD set will feature previously unreleased, early versions of songs that ended up on Lovely, their first album for the major label, and even includes some 1985 demos (Crash being one of them).
Finally, this slice of early Primitives, ends with the audio from their 1987 ICA show, with Morrissey introducing the band on stage.

Is it just me or are the tracks all screwed up on this?
Buzz Buzz Buzz plays Stop Killing Me and others are wrong too.
:/
[…] label Lazy Records (also home to My Bloody Valentine and later Birdland) before signing with RCA. Everything’s Shining Bright is named after their planned Lazy Records album, which was abandoned when the band left the label […]
Pretty much a repackaging of the previously released Buzz Buzz Buzz – The Complete Lazy Recordings from a few years ago. Great band mind you.
