A one-off set for Channel 4’s late night Friday Night At The Dome programme, showcasing three as then unreleased tracks from the Seven album. It was during the recording of this programme that Tim first expressed a wish to work with Angelo Badalamenti.
Born Of Frustration is the opening track on James’ 1992 album Seven. It was released as a single prior to the album release in January 1992.
First played at the Paris Locomotive secret gig in Feb 1991, Born of Frustration was the song that really got the critics backs up, fuelling comparisons with Simple Minds and stadium rock bands. The video was big-budget and set in the desert outside Los Angeles. Larry was replaced by tour manager Richard for the video shoot as he had been mugged on arrival in LA and took the next flight home.
Born of Frustration was the band’s first US release. It later appeared in a commercial for Western Hotels, the proceeds from which paid the massive tax bill that formed part of James’ infamous Black Thursday in 1995.
