Primal Screams Bobby Gillipsie (who I thought hate everyone) had this to say to BBC 6 about the late great Alex Chilton: “He was a geniuss of rock ‘n’ roll His work was) as good The Byrds or The Beatles
“When we started Primal Scream, Alex was a huge influence on us, and he still is. Even if he’d only ever produced the first Cramps album he’d still be one of my rock ‘n’ roll heroes. But he did a lot more than that.
“He just made so many great records, and they were crazy rock ‘n’ roll records. But they were also art records and beautiful records, mournful records, sad records, joyous records. What I’m trying to say is that Alex Chilton was one of the greats.”
