Liner Notes

Come Home (Flood Mix) - 25th June 1990 - Studio Single - UK Chart #32 [r=99638] 7" JIM6 [r=698270] 12" (purple) JIM612 [r=217450] 12" (green) JIMM612 [r=5757387] CD JIMCD6 [r=1857166] CAS JIMMC 6 Following the release of Gold Mother, Come Home was remixed by Flood and re-released at the end of the band’s World Cup tour and Glastonbury performance. The single continued to make use of multi-formatting to boost the chart position. Dreaming Up Tomorrow and Fire Away, the two new tracks, dealt with religion and politics. Come Home itself was well represented with Flood’s single remix, an extended Flood mix, a live Radio Europe session from April 1990 and a remix by Andy Weatherall, the man who created Primal Scream’s Loaded. A live version of Stutter recorded by Key 103 at the December 1989 Manchester Apollo show and a remix of Gold Mother by Sheffield’s Warp completed the additional tracks. Fontana, spurred on by the success of How Was It For You? and Gold Mother, sent the band to the sun-drenched Spanish desert for the video shoot which culminated in the band shirtless daubing black paint on each other’s chests and faces. The single’s artwork mirrored one of the famous James t-shirts with “come” on the front and “home” on the back. To support the single, the band made a number of TV appearances including a performance on the roof of the BBC’s studio in Manchester for the children’s TV show “8.15 from Manchester.” Despite the single charting at number 32, the band were still not invited to perform on Top of the Pops.
