Mercury Prize Winner 1992: Primal Scream – Screamadelica

Primal Scream frontman Bobby Gillespie talks to Davie Scott about the classic Screamadelica, released in 1991 and the winner of the first ever Mercury prize the following year.

A series in which musician Davie Scott reveals the stories behind classic Scottish albums.

In this episode, first broadcast on Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio Scotland in 2005, Davie talks to Primal Scream frontman Bobby Gillespie about the classic Screamadelica, released in 1991 and the winner of the first ever Mercury prize the following year. Bobby takes us back to the heady recording sessions and describes the ways in which politics and hedonism fuelled the music of the band. We also hear from Andrew Weatherall, who co-produced the album, and sadly died in 2020.
