With exclusive, previously unreleased footage of behind the scenes studio sessions, this is the story of how the original mixtapes of the album were rediscovered in a basement by Andrew Innes, Primal Screams rhythm guitarist. The sessions recorded by the band in memphis with the legendary record producer Tom Dowd, along with the muscle shoals rhythm section musicians Roger Hawkins, drums and David Hood bass, did not make the light of day because some of the the mixes were not suitable in the musical climate at the time.
