This one rarely returns to its proper place, instead living in the small pile of records permanently next to my turntable. I'm a late convert to Primal Scream: I first heard the 10 minute Andrew Weatherall mix of Come Together on Tom Robinson's 6Music show. It's a remarkable record, more so to think that it's quite hard, in isolation, to actually hear Primal Scream's contribution. This is very much Weatherall's track, and (to me, at least) it does a great job of encapsulating the house music explosion of the time.
It's interesting to hear Terry Farley's mix, partially because the band's contribution is more evident, so you can get a glimpse of the material that Weatherall had to work with.
RIP Andrew Weatherall, 1963-2020.
