Eternal Hotfire

The Boutique Label proudly presents 'Eternal Hotfire', the debut album by cult garage rock band The Primevals, originally released in 1985 and now digitally remastered with 11 bonus tracks. Formed in Glasgow in 1983 by lead singer and songwriter Michael Rooney, the brooding five-piece combined hi-octane, revved-up garage rock with a dusting of blues, R&B and even jazz influences. 'Eternal Hotfire' was originally issued on highly regarded French imprint New Rose, then home to The Cramps, Tav Falco, Johnny Thunders, The Saints and a host of others. Over the next few years The Primevals cut two more albums for the Paris indie, 'Sound Hole' and 'Live a Little', both produced by Richard Mazda, best known for his work with Scientists and The Fleshtones. "The Primevals formed to try out something earthy and uncompromising," explains Rooney. "To make some noise, but with good tunes as well. We wanted to combine R&B and garage styles and maybe even get close to that jazz ethic, something like Pharoah Sanders fused with the MC5. With the Clyde as our Delta." Newly remastered in 2015, the CD features 61 minutes of music. Bonus tracks include the non-album singles 'Living In Hell' and 'Where Are You?', rare compilation tracks, and four scorching live tracks taped at the legendary Klub Foot in London in 1985. The deluxe 16 page booklet includes archive band images and liner notes by Rooney.
