One of the classics UK singles bands of the last few years, James have always had critical and popular appeal - probably because they wrote some damn good pop tunes, with loads of cred because they were party of the "Madchester" scene.

Now yet another band to reform for 2007, James have released this greatest hits collection to pave the way. And what a lot of great tunes they are, too.

James were formed in Manchester and signed to the legendary Factory. Then the Madchester stuff kicked off and James joined in: their “Gold mother” album spawned four singles with “How was it for you”, “Come home” and “Lose control” all cracking the top 40 but then came the classic “Sit down” — kept off the number one spot in the UK by Chesney Hawkes’ “The one and only” (as annoying as Joe Dolce’s “Shaddapa your face” keeping Ultravox’s “Vienna” from top-ping the charts).

Then came “Born of frustration”, “Ring the bells”, “Sometimes”, “Laid”, “Say something” etc, all of which are on here. There are also two new tunes “Who are you” and “Chameleon”.

It's fantastic pop with a real sparkle; you can't go wrong. If James have a fault, it's that the good songs are great and the not-so-good very average, but they were a singles / live / festival band so you can't complain.

If you've never heard of them: it's jingle jangly guitar pop with some good tunes and singalong choruses.
