Hailing from the small midwestern town of Zion, IL along Lake Michigan’s western shore, Shoes was formed by three like-minded high school friends in the mid 1970s.  Inspired by the British Invasion and the joys of the 3-minute pop song, their early home recordings, self-released LPs and DIY approach established them as pioneers of the home studio movement. "Primal Vinyl" is a collection of classic Shoes songs that includes a previously unreleased live track and material released on vinyl for the first time.
