JAMES have announced details of their new album in celebration of their 40^th Anniversary. BE OPENED BY THE WONDERFUL is a 20 track – 19 vinyl – double album of some of their most loved and rare tracks, reimagined with a 22 piece orchestra and eight piece choir. Released on June 9th and available on DSPs, CD and vinyl, the album also includes a brand new track, Love Make A Fool, due to be released in April.

Tim Booth says: “Life begins at 40. For our midlife euphoria we recorded a double orchestral album of some of our deepest cuts. If you already have a golden ticket, you’ll be catching this on tour and at Latitude Festival. Bring your wings and come ready to fly.”
