When they say Best of, they actually mean it. This album contains nearly all of James' best tracks (But what happened to "Fels Like Fred Astaire? Anyone?) But never mind, what's here is pretty damn good. I must admit, I've never been an avid follower of James, and listening to this album only happened by accident. Ah, but what a happy accident it was. You'll find yourself listening, and thinking "Ah, so that's who does this song...". There's loads of songs on here I've heard before, but never realised to credit them to James, such as "Waltzing Around" (superb track), and "Say Something". They're still highly under-rated after 18 years of melody making, but marvellous nevertheless.
