Fresh As A Daisy – The Singles

BBC Manchester Review: Fresh As A Daisy – The Singles is a new Best Of compilation released in April 2007 to coincide with the reformation of James and their first live shows for five and a half years. The album comes into two CD formats. The single disc version, aimed at supermarkets and casual buyers, features 20 of the band’s biggest hits including two new songs Who Are You? and Chameleon. The two disc version features all James singles in chronological order, plus all the tracks from the two debut singles Jimone and James II.
