Official Vinyl Singles Chart Top 40 | Official Charts Company". Officialcharts.com . Retrieved 20 July 2018. Gold Mother was released in June 1990 just as the ' Madchester' movement, with its wave of popular Manchester-based indie bands, brought James to public attention and won them mainstream recognition. [8] Singles "How Was It for You," the remixed " Come Home" and "Lose Control" all made the Top 40, and the band's newfound success was re-affirmed when they played two sold-out dates at the Manchester G-Mex at the end of the year. In March 1991, the popularity of "Sit Down" led to a re-recorded version being released as a single, which reached number 2 in the UK Singles Chart. [8] Gold Mother was re-released to include "Sit Down" and previous single "Lose Control", and the album sold ten times more copies than Travis originally predicted. The song became one of the biggest-selling singles of the year. The Collection (booklet). James.

In November 1988, drummer Whelan became involved in an on-stage fight with Booth [16] and was asked to leave the band. He was replaced by David Baynton-Power a few months later. During the following year James greatly expanded their line-up and sound palette by hiring three new members: guitarist-violinist-percussionist Saul Davies (whom Gott recruited from an amateur blues night), keyboard player Mark Hunter, and trumpeter/percussionist Andy Diagram (the latter a noted avant-garde and pop musician who'd played with The Diagram Brothers, Dislocation Dance, The Cotton Singers and Pale Fountains). [8] This new seven-piece line-up went into the studio to record the third James album. a b c d Colin Larkin, ed. (1992). The Guinness Encyclopedia of Popular Music (Firsted.).

No Home James!". NME. 10 September 2001. Archived from the original on 2 December 2020 . Retrieved 2 June 2020. After being pleasantly surprised by the depth and variety of the James discography, I was floored by the sudden maturation of songwriting the band puts on display with Pleased To Meet You. It's especially surprising given that the release comes so late in their career (their ninth album, fifteen years after their debut). It's tough to peg a specific genre to the album because several are at work and synthesized to great effect. The album manages to be thoughtful without losing its pop sensibility by combining great hooks with full bodied arrangements and song structures.
