PRIMAL SCREAM cover S'Express for exclusive Record Store Day 2016

As lovers of record shops and all things vinyl, Primal Scream are set to release a special one-off 12” single featuring a cover of ‘Mantra For A State Of Mind’ B/W a new instrumental track ‘Gravitational Waves (Drifter’s Song),’ available only at record stores April 16th.

With the imminent release of their 11th studio album ‘Chaosmosis’ (on March 18th), the band wanted to do something special for Record Store Day and, as Bobby says himself, “I’m a vinyl junkie and I can’t get enough”.

The A-side is a cover version of ‘Mantra For A State Of Mind’ by S’Xpress which features backing vocals by original S’Xpress singer Naomi Osbourne and with Jason Pierce on guitar. The B-side, ‘Gravitational Waves (Drifter’s Song),’ is a new instrumental track featuring Bobby on guitar.
