James - 'Gold Mother'
Tim Booth sits down... and so does the nation.
After years of slogging away and despite releases on Factory Records, major label Sire and a showbiz friendship with Morrissey, it wasn't until James signed to Fontana in 1990 that they hit paydirt. When a re-recording of their 1988 song 'Sit Down' started picking up momentum at shows and clubs, the album was swiftly re-issued with the single, plus 'Lose Control' and was a major hit. It also includes the storming 'Come Home', 'How Was It For You?' and the funky title track is also a highlight.
