About
Gold Mother is the third studio album by English rock band Jame. It was released on 4 June 1990 on Fontana Record. With the addition of drummer David Baynton-Power, violinist/guitarist Saul Davie, and keyboardist Mark Hunter, James released the single "Sit Down" in June 1989, before going to record their next album. Sessions were held at Out of the Blue in Manchester, The Windings in Wrexham, Wale, with three band members and Nick Garside producing. Described as an arena rock and indie rock album, Gold Mother was compared to the likes of U2 and the Waterboy. "Come Home" was released, through Rough Trade Record, as the lead single from Gold Mother in November 1989. Following thi, the band switched from Rough Trade to Phonogram sublabel Fontana Record. "How Was It for You" appeared as the second single in April 1990; two months later, the band embarked on a UK tour. A Flood mix of "Come Home" was released as the album's third single in June 1990, followed by fourth single "Lose Control" in November 1990. The band ended the year with shows in the United Kingdom and Russia. A re-recorded version of "Sit Down" was released the album's fifth and final single in March 1991. Following thi, Gold Mother was reissued in May 1991, with the Flood mix of "Come Home", "Lose Control", and "Sit Down" replacing some of the track. .
