Primitive Love

And then this kind of part, I feel like didn't Donna Allen sing Everlasting Love? At the Live and Re-Rap Tour.

No, she's in Primitive Love.

No, she's in Primitive Love.

Yeah.

Okay.

If you look at the chart data, Dr.

Beat, you know, put them on the map, right? And they were on top of the pops.

And then when we get to Primitive Love, you know, over here, Kongo was released first.

I'm always intrigued, though, by concert memorabilia and just, you know, the backgrounds to it.

One thing I've never discovered, and I don't know if anybody has here, but is memorabilia from the Primitive Love tour.

I have never, ever seen anything on that tour.

I don't know if anybody... has merchandise, even if Gloria has merchandise in her archives.

So a bit of a relationship there.

You know, Steve, funny that you mentioned that.

I saw a photo of a T-shirt once, and I don't know if it was just like a promo to the record stores or the record company, but there was a T-shirt that, I don't remember what color it was, but it just had the Primitive Love logo written on

it.

Beat and Conga, because anybody who knows me, how much I love Conga and that show.

And the next thing in the new year, I got two cassettes from my pen pal, which was Eyes of Innocence and Primitive Love and Cassette.

And so that's what really, really, I guess that was the catalyst for really starting to buy Gloria's singles to begin with.

In Ireland back in the late 80s, there wasn't a lot of exposure.

But one is...

I know for songs where I have paid attention to the packaging, the liner notes, I'll know the lyrics better than a song that I've just bought a CD for or listened to on streaming.

But the other thing is when you're analyzing the liner notes, you get to learn about recording studios, equipment used, who the backing or, you know, the backing band is, you All that type of stuff, you know, so, you know, like Susie Carr, for example, I wouldn't know Susie Carr if it wasn't for the Primitive Love album, you know, but there I go looking for her on Instagram.

Who does that? You know, that's the impact that that kind of stuff has.
