With over 30M albums sold over a longstanding career, James are amongst the most commercially and artistically successful alt rock bands of their era.

Having gathered a cult following around art rock gallops like “Johnny Yen” in the 80s, they broke through to mainstream success with their major label debut ‘Gold Mother’ in 1990, followed with string of fan-favourite hits like as ‘Come Home’, ‘Sit Down’ and ‘Laid’.

‘Nothing But Love – The Definitive Best Of’ will be available in various formats including a 3CD deluxe.
