In any list of the greatest British bands of the last 20 years, the distinctive name of James wouldn't be far from the top. Emerging on Manchester's now infamous Factory Records in the mid eighties, James ploughed their own idiosyncratic furrow to become an institution on the British alternative music scene of the '80s and '90s with their rare example of a pop group who combined commercial success with integrity. Formed in Manchester in 1982, when Paul Gilbertson (guitar), Jim Glennie (bass) and Gavan Whelan (drums) met Tim Booth (vocals) at Manchester University and asked him to join their fledgling band, they became regulars on the local club circuit, and by 1983, they had signed to Factory, releasing their debut EP, Jimone. Two years later, their second EP, James II, was released and Morrissey, front man of The Smiths, publicly endorsed James, asking them to open for his group. http://www.jamestheband.com/info/press/pr_042602.cfm Oct 03 06, 7:03 PM
