the original artist & original version*.
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 called, was given
slicker, more commercialized production
including additional guitars, percussion,
organ and backing vocals. These additions
were performed by faceless studio musicians
and not by The Primitives.
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.
