Danish jazz station has been playing stuff from Well Kept Secret last 15 minutes, seems like a decent recording! Never would have thought, I mainly know James from poor record collections in flea markets but will get this one next time I pass it in bin browsing

We had a CD of James Last doing classical songs from adverts that I listened to shitloads when I was about 10.
