Amazon.co.uk Review
Just when they had been written off as hopeless nostalgics, along came the mind-bending Vanishing Point which retained the rock & roll ethic but twisted it into a dark oppressive form summed up perfectly by "Kowalski" and "Burning Wheel". Unrelenting, they released Xtrmntr, a harsh wall of noise underpinned by searing synth melodies and bitter lyrics which produced the hits "Swastika Eyes" and "Kill All Hippies". Finally, taking them to the modern day, Dirty Hits includes a few songs from the even more extreme, structured noise that was Evil Heat plus "Some Velvet Morning", a song featuring Kate Moss that never made the album.
Many thought that Primal Scream were an album band and a best-of collection wouldn't do them justice but Dirty Hits is a great listen and a great reminder of exactly how much good music they've made over the years. --David Trueman

Customer Reviews
Screamadelica was a great album,one of few from the first indie-rave era that had substance and all their albums are worthwhile even if they do take a pick and mix approach to music from the past few decades.I still find them a modern sounding band in comparison to the stone roses museum or the oasis o.a.p home.
On investigation it seems there is another compilation called More Dirty Hits (a japanese version) that has some earlier tracks on it.This seems quite common,interesting tracks only turning up on hard to get or expensive imports,why,why,why?
Then there is the obvious choice of Rocks and Jailbird which are solid rock n roll tracks, but Cry myself blind feels somewhat out of place, I'd have gone for give out but don't give up to keep the beats going.
As for the songs on Vanishing point, it's hard to fault the selection, though again the first 2 songs Burning Wheel & Kowalski have been shortened, burning wheel misses it's laid back 1 minute ambient intro, & in my opinion Kowalski should have been left untouched.
Then there is the songs from in my view Primal Screams best album, xtrminator, swstika eyes, classic song, sorely misses it's little intro, likewise with kill all hippies. The album in many ways reminds of the complete Stone Roses best of, where classic tracks were shortened & to an extent ruined!
