Whiplash

About Whiplash

Whiplash is the seventh studio album by English alternative rock band James. It contains the UK top ten hit "She's a Star", which re-established the group commercially. Two further singles were released from the album—"Tomorrow" and "Waltzing Along"—both of which reached the top 30. The sessions for the album were long and stretched over a period of more than two years with many unreleased songs being recorded—Brian Eno produced many of the early sessions and details some of these songs and the recording process in his book A Year with Swollen Appendices. The album was reissued in remastered form in 2001 with four bonus tracks. Whiplash was chosen as one of the 50 best albums of 1997 by Q magazine. more »
