The young James Hunters LP debut from 1986, just goes to show that he was always a great singer - a natural.
Released under the pseudonym of Howlin Wilf & The Vee-Jays, this is the first time it has been released on CD.
Hunter recorded his first solo album for Ace in 1996 - "Believe What I Say" (CDCHD 636). The album featured a guest appearance by Van Morrison and Hunter has regularly appeared with Van on stage.
His third album "People Gonna Talk" has proved to be James breakthrough album and he is now on a major US tour with Boz Scaggs.
Morrissey fans will be interested to know that it is produced by Boz Boorer
The cover features the band posing in front of the wall of a record shop in Camden painted with classic record labels from the 50s and 60s. The very wall of labels mentioned in Nick Hornbys High Fidelity (which has now disappeared under a fresh coat of paint).
