BRAND NEW song & video by The Primitives http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fsB333ckdzo




The CRASH song audio is owned by UMG/BMG/Complete Music. BUT Warner Music? forced me to change the audio to something else...

1988's CRASH*, was The Primitives most successful of their singles from their first album, LOVELY. It earned them a UK Top 5 hit (and made the U.S. Top 3). This was a great achievement for an indie band from Coventry, England. The album, Lovely is considered by many as one of the top Indie Pop albums of that era and has influenced many other commercial and indie artists.

The Primitives broke up in 1992. Unbeknown to them; Crash was remixed and showed up on the soundtrack for the film, Dumb and Dumber. The "95 Mix", as it was titled, was given slicker, more commercialized production including additional guitars, percussion, organ and backing vocals. These additions were not performed by any of the original band members.

Over the years, around a dozen cover versions have been made by various artists. Interestingly, the more indie artists cover the original version, while more commercial/younger artists are in reality, covering the "95 Mix", familiar to them from the Dumb and Dumber soundtrack.

From 1986-1992, The Primitives made three full-length albums, LOVELY, PURE, and GALORE and about 15 singles. Several collections are available containing singles, b-sides, radio sessions, alternate versions and other rarities.

*The Primitives also made some earlier demo sounding versions of Crash prior to this 1988 single/album version.

  • The CRASH song audio is owned by UMG/BMG/Complete Music... BUT 'Warner Music' forced me to change the audio to something else?? The replacement song is Elouisa (Inst.) by Slowride simply because YouTube offered it as an option due to the same time length. Please download CRASH from Amazon or iTunes and visit The Primitives official website or Facebook page.

  • check out the brand new Primitives song and video

  • Warner keep doing this , they blocked a lot of Lush videos I uploaded. Fortunately I know Miki and she contacted them directly - it turned out WB didnt own the songs at all. Doesn't stop them issuing threats even when they dont actually won the content. You can read about it if you google "Looney Tubes"
