Still got my copy of that one picked up in WH Smith's sale for 50p 'back in the day'. At the time, they had a truckload of US Atlantics and Stax being off-loaded.
Definitely. Saw him just the once - towards the end of his life, in NYC Town Hall no less - and was hugely impressed with his big tenor sound. What a great showman he was.
The big band he had for that gig was damn good too.
Looks like HMV is considering a return to its original Oxford St location !

Bev - Looks like the Westbrook Band is playing St Ives on Tues 30th July so maybe timed nicely for your hol?
They've also got a gig lined up at home-base Dawlish around the same time.
