I remember watching this on Whistle Test just before James supported The Smiths on the Meat Is Murder tour. So I'm guessing this must have been broadcast Jan/Feb 1985?
The fact that no one has commented on this says it all. Most James fans didn't know they existed before Sit Down. For me it was all over by then. After Sit Down James were good but they were just another band. Back then they were so unique, Thanks for posting this, i remember taping this off the tele back then. This is the James i remember
i remember seeing james supporting the smiths at the hacienda in 1983,good days indeed...

James were brilliant, I loved freaking out to their music on the dancefloor in the 80's & 90's (brickhouse)

Really? Most James I know haven't commented here 'cause they already had it before YouTube existed. ;)
