The Primitives to chronicle first era in 5-disc ‘Bloom! The Full Story 1985-1992’ box set

Cherry Red Records this March will celebrate the first era of U.K. indie-pop favorites The Primitives with a five-disc box set that collects three studio albums, a raft of singles and related B-sides, demos, covers, material recorded in BBC sessions, and live cuts.

Titled Bloom! The Full Story 1985-1992, the box set is due out March 20. It can pre-ordered now via Cherry Red Records’ website.

The collection includes a disc of early singles and other material, the band’s three late-’80s/early ’90s albums — 1988’s Lovely, 1989’s Pure and 1991’s Galore — and a disc with BBC material and a 10-song live set. The set includes the band’s singles — including alternate versions — “Thru The Flowers,” “Really Stupid,” “Crash,” “Sick Of It,” “Secrets” and “You Are The Way.”

Led by frontwoman Tracy Tracy and guitarist Paul Court, the band reunited in 2009 and has released a couple new records since then and continues to tour.

Below, check out the box set’s tracklist.
