Under The Covers: Primal Scream’s “Slip Inside This House”

primalscream Under The Covers: Primal Screams Slip Inside This House To this day, Primal Scream’s Screamadelica is regarded as a classic LP, and one of the first big Brit LPs to mix rock with dance music. Influential? I’ll say. In amongst “Movin’ On Up”, “Loaded” and “Come Together” is an acid baggy anthem, “Slip Inside This House” (you can hear it if you click here).
However, not many folks know that “Slip Inside This House” is actually a cover of a whacked-out psychedelic garage track by the legendary 13th Floor Elevators. The original (click here to hear it) is a far cry from the Screamteam’s version. Super heavy and aggressive, Roky Eriksson’s band go in deep with a soupy, shuddering mix that sounds like a sonic earthquake. Impress your friends with your new found trivia. If you knew already, go and dance around the house to both versions.
