New singles Sit Down and Come Home became strong hits in the independent charts, and the latter featured on the compilation album Happy Daze. The album Gold Mother was intended to be released on Rough Trade but the owner of the label, Geoff Travis, believed James could only reach an audience of 20,000 to 30,000. The band believed they had more potential than this and bought the rights to the album from Rough Trade. A successful winter tour in 1989 attracted a deal with Fontana Records, and the band ended a difficult decade on an optimistic note. Come Home is a song by Mancunian band James, first released as a single in November 1989 by Rough Trade. Like the preceding single, Sit Down, it received little attention initially and led to James parting ways with Rough Trade. After Mercury Records had signed the band to the Fontana label and experienced chart success with How Was It for You they re-released Come Home in June 1990 in a version remixed by Flood. The original release had artwork by Central Station Design while the re-release repeated the design of the How Was It for You singles, with the words come and home on the front and back covers, respectively, with different background colours marking the various formats. The song featured on the influential 1990 Madchester compilation album Happy Daze. First and carrier track of the third album Gold Mother in 1990. https://youtube/watch?v=xWd9mqC80BU
