Laid by James

Laid is an Alt/Indie album by James, originally released in 1993. On Gatefold: 60 pressings tracked, owned by 21 collectors.

About

<i>Laid</i> proved to be James’ best known and most critically revered album. Though recorded concurrently with their follow-up album (<i>Wah Wah</i>) in a six-week period at Peter Gabriel’s Real World Complex with producer Brian Eno, <i>Laid</i> was considered the more conventional, song-oriented collection. This deluxe edition adds demos, live tracks, radio sessions, B-sides, and previously unreleased rarities to better understand the era and to collect all the relevant material regarding <i>Laid</i> in one place. A B-side such as “The Lake” is evidence that the original 13-track album wasn’t long enough to feature all the session highlights.
