"How Was It for You"

"Come Home" is a song by Mancunian band James, first released as a single in November 1989 by Rough Trade. Like the preceding single, Sit Down, it received little attention initially and led to James parting ways with Rough Trade. After Mercury Records had signed the band to the Fontana label and experienced chart success with How Was It for You they re-released Come Home in a version remixed by Flood. The original release had artwork by Central Station Design while the re-release repeated the design of the How Was It for You singles, with the words "come" and "home" on the front and back covers, respectively, with different background colors marking the various formats.
