Documentary about Primal Scream's return to Memphis to remix their 1994 album Give Out but Don't Give Up.
Documentary about Primal Scream's return to Memphis to remix their 1994 album Give Out but Don't Give Up.
In the early 90s, the UK music scene was changing. Alternative rock band Primal Scream were recording in Memphis, but with Oasis and Blur emerging, they suddenly seemed out of step with the current sound.
Nine songs were recorded, but the album released, after changes were made to make it sound more contemporary, was not the mix that Primal Scream wanted. In the film, Bobby Gillespie talks candidly about how this process led him to question his own judgement and left him feeling that he had failed himself and his audience.
With exclusive, previously unreleased footage of behind-the-scenes studio sessions, this is the story of how the original mixtapes of the album were rediscovered in a basement by Andrew Innes, Primal Scream's rhythm guitarist, giving Bobby the chance to remaster the album he had originally envisaged all those years ago.
