Product description

Dive into the vibrant sounds of the early 90s with James' third studio album, "Gold Mother," released on June 4, 1990, under Fontana Records. This captivating collection of tracks blends the energetic spirit of Madchester and the burgeoning Britpop scene, showcasing the band's unique ability to craft memorable melodies and thought-provoking lyrics.

With the addition of drummer David Baynton-Power, James delivers a dynamic and engaging album that spans a rich 51 minutes. The album kicks off with the infectious "Come Home - Flood Mix" and doesn't let go until the final notes of "Sit Down - Live At G-Mex." Standout tracks like "Lose Control," "God Only Knows," and the title track "Gold Mother" highlight the band's knack for creating anthemic, radio-friendly tunes that resonate with listeners.

"Gold Mother" is a testament to James' evolving sound and growing prowess as songwriters. The album's blend of alternative rock, pop sensibilities, and introspective lyrics offers a compelling listen that captures the essence of the era. Whether you're a longtime fan or new to James' music, "Gold Mother" is an essential addition to any music collection, offering a glimpse into the band's creative peak and the vibrant musical landscape of the early 90s.

This 2023 Reissue 2LP set is pressed on 180g vinyl.

    Haven't had the chance to compare it to the first release but this reissue of Gold Mother is fantastic and sounds incredible. The record is crisp and noise-free with an awesome bass... it's definitely worth picking up to replace a beat-up copy or to expand your music library. A true James classic
