Lol yeah the self-mytholigising part is a just accusation from Skinny. The shock for me though was that the Memphis version of Big Jet Plane and the accompanying album actually blew away my previous expectations of what Primal Scream could do in their Stones imitating mode. It's really authentic and satisfying and maybe even better than the Stones at incorporating gospel into blues rock (although they still can't quite match the swagger of the Stones.) There was some truth to their self-mythologising.

Double dipped on All the Work though and that is a cool track too. Maybe needs a summer's day but I like the vibe.

Primal Scream going full Stones tribute with an unhealthy cupful of transparent self-mythologising vs. Amber Mark doing Theo Parrish-goes-pop?

Clearly the latter.

Yeah I guess there is some question of eligibility here, but then again if we allow Car Seat Headrest I guess it's still good.

Amber Mark. The whole EP from 2018 is quite good soul. Will have to check out her album from 2017 at some point.

I can't vote for the Primal Scream track without hearing the correct version.

But All The Work is so brilliant that I can cast a vote in good conscience regardless.

Here's another youtube link but presumably this also might not be available in the US too? Fingers crossed though...

Video still blocked. Even spotify tells me "this track is unavailable." Thanks for trying.

Darn it. Must be the rights to this track are somehow blocked in the US.

For those that can get the original Memphis track pls do. Otherwise you are just voting on some random track from the mid 90s 🤣 Also, they passed on the track to a big name producer back in the day in a questionable bid to make it sound more commercial. This gave it a very 90s radio friendly sound. Whereas the original recording has a classic 70s muscle Shoals sound (they recorded it with the same people who worked with the Stones, Aretha, Percy Sledge etc.

The Amber Mark track isn't a million miles from some of the NuYorican Soul stuff. It's OK and rather likeable. I'd put it on whilst driving down the A27 between Chichester and Brighton on a sunny day.

GOBDGU was always my least favourite Creation-era Primals LP. Some archive recordings have done nowt to change that.

Pls give the other version a shot as well if you like the song. Its so much warmer and soulful, like Exile era Stones.

A close one here. But the Big Jet is a better song and not overly reliant on a repetitive artificial beat, even if the vocal does need to be stronger.

Thanks for posting CryingGameDahlin!

Pls could we all consider the version below as the Primal Scream entry. The one at the top I think is the 1995 version. This is the (considerably better) original Memphis version released for the first time last year. Hope you enjoy!

Also, please no "this track is a journeyman version of the Stones in either version" gags as I just got there first 😁
