    James 'Laid' with Saul Davies (plus bonus 'Yummy' interview).
    Apr 25 2024
    We’ve been waiting to do this one for a while! On this episode of the XS Long Player we go back to 1993 and talk to seminal Manchester band James about their classic album ‘Laid’. Taking a rare (for the band) moment to look at the back catalogue is Saul Davies (violin, guitar in the album) who talks to Jim Salveson about working with Brian Eno, why the album was so different to the one that proceeded it and how their most popular song, and the title track of the album, almost never made the cut. Plus, as a bonus, Saul also answers some questions about the bands brand new album ‘Yummy’ as submitted by XS Manchester listeners.
