L’OMBRA DI NESSUNO (The Shadow of None)
The relocation to Italy completely turned the fortunes of the Primitives around. Their appearances at the Piper Club turned them into stars, and they had huge record sales with their inventive Italian versions of English-language pop hits. Their first release in Italy was the major hit “Yeeeeeeh!” b/w “L’Ombra di Nessuno” (“The Shadow of None”), that is, the Rascals’ hit “I Ain’t Gonna Eat out My Heart Anymore” and the Four Tops song “Standing in the Shadow of Love”. “Yeeeeeeh!” is in the song listing on English Freakbeat, Volume 1 but is not actually on the CD.
