This 1986 album by The Primates remain as the only recording ever released by these four 60s r&b and garage fans.
Combining great originals (‘I Ain’t Like You’, ‘Bad Luck’, ‘Born Loser’) and versions (check their great take on Q65’s ‘I Got Nightmares’ or Neil Sedaka’s ‘I Go Ape’), “We Are The Primates” remains as a wild, raw, party album that every fan of garage music should own.
Originally published on Greg Shaw’s very own Voxx (Bomp! sublabel focused on revival garage/psychedelia) and produced by Shaw himself, this valuable musical document portraits the essence of the L.A. 80s garage scene.
We are thrilled to reissue this essential ‘80s garage gem as part of a series of releases celebrating Bomp! 50th anniversary. Our issue includes a booklet with liner notes and rare photos and ephemera.
