Liner Notes

Released February, 1992, the "Dixie-Narco EP" was recorded at Ardent Studios in Memphis, and allowed Primal Scream to indulge their love of U.S. music history. Lead track "Movin' On Up" is the group's gospel-tinged attempt to recreate the Rolling Stones' sound circa the album "Exile On Main Street", but updated for the post-acidhouse generation. It is mixed by veteran producer/mixing engineer Jimmy Miller, who had worked with the Stones. The song "Carry Me Home" is cover of a song by Dennis Wilson of The Beach Boys. "Screamadelica" is a long, blissful track of balearic-influenced indie-dance with lead vocals by Denise Johnson, and, despite its name, the song did not actually appear on the album of the same title. The EP title "Dixie-Narco" was taken from a U.S.-based manufacturer of beverage vending machines.
