The Primitives - Way Behind Me

[simonsaintgilles]

If I remember correctly, they included a free gift (bubble bath) with the 7". The trouble was, stocks of the free gift kept running out, and since fans would prefer to wait till the free gift was in stock again, the single kept going up and down in the charts. They were at the height of their success when this came out.

At least Primitives didn't get on emimusic like Terry Blair and Anouchka did. That's way they won't have to fight with Crowded House.

[philipbryan1]

Love it still! Yes, I'm that old I was at the concerts many many years ago. They were good fun then and the music still is. The wrinkles may move without stopping, but at least this keps my brain young. Capture the feeling of a generation.

[SuperGroat]

Seriously, she's absolutely magnificient.

And the music's good too.

What else?

[rtenewsontwo]

"Spending warm sunny days indoors"

[Iberotimuka]

@rtenewsontwo sounds like a Morrissey line :)

[rtenewsontwo]

@Iberotimuka It's a Smiths' line, Ask is the song but this song sounds exactly like it. 

[Iberotimuka]

@rtenewsontwo frightening verse to a buxom girl in Luxembourg!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dancupid]

Where would we be without Buddy Holly?

[MostricBass]

@dancupid Where would we be without the Ramones this band likes those guys Punk 4 ever

[richiedj10]

Esta es una de mis favoritas de fines de los 80's. Me trae excelentes recuerdos.

[millbrook79]

ahh perfect pop music. are u listening simon cowell ?

[xrayspecsy]

@millbrook79 THANK YOU, SO AGREE!!!!

[stevenshorter67]

I think I wore out the shocks in my car, bouncing to the Primitives.

[rjinblack1970]

I did a drawing of Tracey and took it to the Belfast gig in 88. I threw it up on the stage and 6 months later I got a letter from Tracey saying she had it framed up in her house! I recently found her on Facebook and she still has it. Top that!

[78kingmicky]

@rjinblack1970 thats fricking brilliant,dont get that with todays shitty pop music.

[tracyweaver100]

@rjinblack1970 You didn't get email from any Tracy. Probably it was Neil Finn looking like Tracy.

[skinnygit1]

@rjinblack1970 sorry, no. 

[whcky]

The Primitives rock and Tracys a babe please come to New Zealand

[vveq]

Cool and groovy. I'm rockin' out in my chair.

[amanda182uk]

I saw these guys in the Europa Hotel in Belfast in 1988/89 and I remember very vividly Tracy berating one guy with the words "young man if you spit again I will take you over my lap", incidentally I was a small 16 year old girl who then got squished in the mosh pit! Ah the memories, good music then and good music still!

[nevybabe1]

oh yeah, and ive got 2 vinyls 1red + 1blue :) lucky,lucky me!!!

[INITIALSJE]

I don't get why any of my male friends don't like the primitives.Their sound never gets old to me.

[nevybabe1]

most people i know havent heard of them,but it doesnt bother me cos i think theyre great. raw and real,fantastic!!!!

[nevybabe1]

still sounds so great!! i've still got the albums-lovely,lazy&pure on cassette tape and they still play fine :)

[INITIALSJE]

if anyone knows where the crash video is, please let me know, thanks.

[Caledonian86224]

Great video, this band shoulda been the next biggest thing to Blondie.

[bongquisha]

shes so hot!

[bielanczyk]

great band!

[ancoats186]

still sounds as fresh now as it did then.quality

[zepromaster]

The singer is very beautiful oO

[kwadinka]

Everyone here is absolutely right!!!!!!  The Primitives were a fantastic band! I still love them to this day. I first got into them in 1987 before "Crash" hit big in america. Despite the line-up changes, they still retained a great sound. Tracy Tracy always looked and sounded heaven-like, especially during her redhead phase. I always loved the emotion that their music always captured. Of course, this was the period of the Coventry invasion with all the blond female led bands. Primitives #1!

[AmberAprilAnnie]

Yeah, I really LOVE this song too! And Tracy looks great in this video, doesn't she? Yummy! I would have loved playing this song for a couple of guys in my past who were big losers. :P

[lsnows]

LOVE IT!! I don't often fall in love with a song or a group instantly, but I did with this group!!

[sactoller68]

Great band with great songs, should have been more successful! Saw them in LA twice, damn good show. I would think, that management was lacking in getting them the exposure.

[Caledonian86224]

The Primitives! Fabulous!

[staticavecsilence]

ah tracy tracy is so pretty pretty

[o0flip0o]

you know for the time they had much of the look and sound down that should have made them a wider success. Too bad this video isn't up to snuff. I don't know who did it but they weren't very good. I can think of many great shots & concepts to exploit the bands look more fully.

[Hologr4m]

Just brilliant!

[abbadabbadoo7]

One of my Favs from The Primitives. Could Tracy be any more alluring? Nope! Thanks for the share M. Peace!

[tranmere66]

One of this brilliant band's finest. IMO Tracy was at her most beautiful with her 1989 brunette look. Saw them at the Town & Country then - in my first month at Uni - and she was ravishing.
