"Whiplash" is the seventh studio album by Manchester Indie group James. It contained the top ten hit "She's A Star" which re-established the group commercially. The sessions for the album were long and stretched over a period of more than 2 years with many unreleased songs being recorded - Brian Eno produced many of the early sessions and details some of these songs and the recording process in his book A Year with Swollen Appendices. The album was reissued in remastered form in 2001 with 4 'bonus' tracks (Fontana 548 788-2).
