If you don't slow down, you're gonna crash into the news that Cherry Red is expanding The Primitives' debut LP for its 25th anniversary.

Formed in the British city of Coventry, the indie pop group earned a following through several singles on their own Lazy Records imprint before signing to RCA for Lovely, their first studio LP. The band (at the time consisting of Paul Court on guitar, Steve Dullaghan on bass, Tig Williams on drums and vocalist Tracy Cattell - known as "Tracy Tracy") combined the guitar-based sensibilities of other indie acts like The Jesus & Mary Chain and Primal Scream, while adding a distinct audiovisual flair thanks to Cattell's distinctive vocals and bottle-blonde hairstyle. (Alongside U.K. acts Transvision Vamp and The Darling Buds, they were briefly credited with kickstarting the niche indie subgenre of "blonde pop.")

Lazy became a hit thanks to the catchy lead single "Crash," a Top 10 hit in the band's native country and a No. 3 Modern Rock hit in America. (Years later, it was remixed and featured prominently on the soundtrack for the Jim Carrey-Jeff Daniels comedy Dumb & Dumber.) Much of the rest of the album features re-recorded versions of songs the band had previously released as singles.

Cherry Red's new edition of Lovely, to be released in the U.K. on June 10, features a bonus disc full of single-only material. The band, which split in 1992 but reunited in 2009 after the death of Dullaghan, will tour Europe starting with dates in Spain next month. In September, the band will perform several U.K. dates specifically for the 25th anniversary of Lovely, featuring guest DJ sets by Mike Joyce, former drummer of The Smiths.

This release also calls to attention a new compilation of the band's early indie material which was released by Cherry Red earlier this spring. You can read more about that title after the jump!

Despite the name of the label, The Primitives' early works weren't Lazy. They were as catchy as their major-label efforts, with a touch more lo-fi production sensibility. "Really Stupid," "Stop Killing Me" and "Thru the Flowers" were all Top 10 singles on the U.K.'s Indie charts. Everything's Shining Bright, as the two-disc compilation is called, features all the band's single sides for the label as well as unreleased demos, seven unreleased tracks for a planned Lazy Records LP (scrapped when the band went major) and a live show from 1987 (in which they were introduced to the stage by famous fan Morrissey), all compiled by guitarist Court.
