Is Primal Scream’s ‘Loaded’, Andrew Weatherall’s first masterpiece? Released on 19th February 1990, Primal Scream’s ‘Loaded’ signalled a bold new direction for the Scottish rock band, and laid the foundation for their landmark acid house-inspired album ‘Screamadelica’. Produced by Andrew Weatherall in Walthamstow’s Bark Studio, the single originated as a remix of the group’s track ‘I’m Losing More Than I’ll Ever Have’, but with a prompt to “just fucking destroy it” and a maverick approach to sampling, it became much more than that. Here, with the help of Bark’s engineer Brian O’Shaughnessy, Wrongtom tells its story for DJ Mag here.
