James really first emerged in 1985 with The Village Fire EP on Factory Records which still charms forty years down the line. It's a fabuous document of a band setting off on their journey. Young shavers packing their rucksackswith flasks and sandwiches wrapped in cellophane.An apple and a catron of juice for anexcursion to the country..
I've always thought 'Trumpton' 'Camberwick Green'. There's a clockwork beauty here, a slipshod artisan amateurism to the arrangements and Tim Booth's mannerisms have a purity that's really rather lovely. Youth in all its earnest innocence.
