Strip-mine (album)
Strip-mine was the second studio album from English band James, released in September 1988. The album was produced by Hugh Jones, except "Riders" and "Refrain" which were produced by Steve Power and Steve Lovell. After the recording sessions in 1987, the release of the album was delayed a number of times by the record label, but it was eventually remixed early the following year at London's Battery Studios before finally getting a release in September 1988. The track "Ya Ho" first appears on the 1987 Sire Records promotional sampler Just Say Yes.

gollark: There we go, comments are back up.
gollark: Did you know that if you can type and skimread fast enough you can seem like you know 22% more things online?
gollark: Mostly I just get away with duckduckgoing very fast.
gollark: I do also have some personal services running on the same infrastructure, but I barely have to tweak those.
gollark: So it appears that the comments system is down because I recompiled my website with the new domain so the status/images links would be right, and forgot to stick in configuration for proxying to the comments backend onto the new domain. I have to deal with bizarre issues like this *constantly* just to keep my stupid projects in existence and available.
