Sonic Flower Groove

Sonic Flower Groove is the debut album by Scottish indie rock band Primal Scream, Released in 1987. Sonic Flower Groove featured psychedelic, Byrdsy jangle pop and was the only Primal Scream album to feature founder member Jim Beattie (credited as 'Jim Navajo'). The album sold well enough to reach number 62 in the UK Album Chart, but performed poorly by major-label standards. The disappointment was a major reason for the original Primal Scream splitting up shortly after Sonic Flower Groove, leaving vocalist Bobby Gillespie and the guitar duo of Andrew Innes and Robert "Throb" Young to reorganize the band. Mayo Thompson of Red Krayola was the producer of the album, after work with Stephen Street did not please the band.
