Retrospective singles collection of the one and only Primal Scream. Titled Maximum Rock’n’Roll, the record features releases from across their lifetime as a band. “Right from our 1985 debut All Fall Down onward we’ve approached singles as an aesthetic choice, a statement of where we are as a band,” says Bobby Gillespie. “We grew up with Suffragette City and Metal Guru flying out of the radio. The four Sex Pistols singles were great. Public Image by PiL sounded like nothing else. Prince and Madonna made amazing hits. That has been our approach. I’ve always loved Top 40 pop radio, I love greatest hits albums like The Who’s Meaty, Beaty, Big and Bouncy. I remember Alan McGee saying of Higher Than The Sun: it won’t be a hit, but it will be a statement. Great singles can get out into the world and show people an alternative way of thinking. They make you feel less alone.”
Afro-Cuban jazz is a vibrant fusion of jazz and Afro-Cuban rhythms, originating in the 1940s in New York City. It combines the improvisational nature of jazz with the complex, clave-based rhythms of Cuban music, such as son, mambo, and rumba. This genre emerged from the collaborations of Cuban musicians like Mario Bauzá and Frank Grillo (Machito) with prominent jazz figures like Dizzy Gillespie.
"I Love How You Love Me" is a song written by Barry Mann and Larry Kolber, first popularized by the Paris Sisters in 1961 as a hit produced by Phil Spector. The phrase "I love how you love me" is grammatically correct and expresses appreciation for the way someone shows affection. The song was later covered by Bobby Vinton in 1968, achieving Top Ten status. The "Wonderful Sounds Of The Girl Groups!" compilation album, as indicated by the title, likely features various girl groups performing songs from that era, including potential versions of "I Love How You Love Me" or other popular girl group hits. Some notable girl groups of the time include The Shirelles, who had a major hit with "Will You Love Me Tomorrow". That song was the first by a girl group to top the Billboard Hot 100 chart, according to Wikipedia.
