Retrieved 27 December 2020. James’ 3rd album, Gold Mother, released on two LP gold vinyl (what else) was the band’s breakthrough album and this release combines the 1990 and 1991 version. For many, this was the band’s defining album and certainly the one that saw them gain commercial success, riding the wave of the Madchester scene. For me it expresses the essential nature of James with its imagination and diversity. Fresh as a Daisy – The Singles (booklet). James.

How Was It For You? preceded the album in April 1990 and achieved the band’s first Top 40 hit, reaching number 32. The album followed in June and was met with almost universal approval by the music press who were suddenly beginning to champion James again and was accompanied by a month-long tour of larger venues culminating in a triumphant performance at Glastonbury. Come Home, remixed by Flood, was re-released at the end of June and also hit number 32 in the charts. With the album finished, James sought to discuss promotion with Geoff Travis, MD of Rough Trade who told them that he loved the album but that they would only ever be a minority interest with an audience of 20-30,000. James asked to be released from their contract as they felt they could reach a wider audience. The recently relaunched Fontana label, a subsidiary of Phonogram (later to be swallowed by Mercury) signed James and bought the Gold Mother album as a whole from Rough Trade, who were just about to go bankrupt.a b Fresh as a Daisy – The Videos (booklet).

As part of National Album Day, the band released two albums; Gold Mother and Laid on limited edition coloured vinyl. Such longevity is rare in the music industry and the range of diversity shown in these two albums alone is perhaps one reason why they are still going from strength to strength.

This Brian Eno produced album is released on limited edition trans red two LP vinyl. At the time of its release Laid was heralded as one of the best albums from the decade, and 30 years later it is hard to disagree with this statement. The album sounds as relevant and fresh today as it ever did.
