I don't see this one yet in the U.S., but it's priced really cheap in the UK. They're a guilty pleasure of mine so I have the individual releases, but if you don't, this looks good.

Description
After three albums with A&M, close harmony duo England Dan and John Ford Coley signed to the Atlantic label in 1976 and immediately had a huge hit on both sides of the Atlantic with “I’d Really Love To See You Tonight”. This 2 CD slip-cased package contains all four albums that they recorded for Atlantic between 1976 and 1979, all featuring songs and performances that wouldn’t be out of place on contemporary Eagles and James Taylor albums. Fourth album “Dr Heckle And Mr Jive” contains their other big hit, their cover of Todd Rundgren’s “Love Is The Answer”. The three bonus tracks are non-album single sides; “Keep Your Smile” get its first release outside of Japan, where it was used for a coffee commercial. The 36 page booklet features photos and ephemera along with a lengthy note, written by Paul Myers, based on a January 2015 interview with John Ford Coley himself.

Bump: A pre-order link is up for the USA now too, but the Amazon UK link is still a better deal. I've also added the tracklist (which includes a few bonuses).

Definitely a guilty pleasure of mine, as well. I am disappointed that Edsel/Demon did not include the theme from "James at 15" ("It's All Up to You") as a bonus track:

"He ain't got no walking stick
He don't need no ball and chain
He ain't got no candy kick
That don't mean nothing to James

Oh, oh, James, singing, oh, oh, James....."

Thanks WalterP. We seem to share the same "guilt" I'm in for the UK version.

Why feel guilty? These are wonderful albums with music that obviously reaches people. I love these albums!

Bump: This has been pushed back to March 16th.

Geez...I didn't realize that ED&JFC were involved with the James At 15 track. It's too bad it didn't get included.

I must have, literally, 25 CDs of TV theme songs. I wonder if "James at 15" is on any of them.

P.S. The show was not based on me.

Addendum: Oh goody, I do!

About halfway through the show's first (and only) season, its title was changed to "James at 16." The theme song was changed, as well--another lost England Dan and John Ford Coley jewel:

According to Wikipedia--the font of all amassed human knowledge--the theme song to "James at 15" was "James," performed by Lee Montgomery. That would make sense, since the ED&JFC song is apparently entitled "It's All Up to You," a phrase that appears in the "James at 16" theme but not the "James at 15" theme. (And the vocal in the "James at 15" theme sounds like neither England Dan nor John Ford Coley, especially when compared to the "James at 16" theme.)

I don't have the CD that Jimbo linked to above in front of me at the moment, but according to my database, that track is listed as "James At 15 (It's All Up To You)". I'll have to check the liner notes out tonight when I get home.

Whatever version ED&JFC did, it's obviously a loose end and it's too bad it wasn't included here.

I pulled out my copy of "Television's Greatest Hits: Remote Control" last night and was pleasantly surprised to learn that Seals & Crofts had done the theme song for the TV series "The Paper Chase":



(Also, the Grateful Dead did the theme to the long-forgotten mid-80's revival of "The Twilight Zone".....

Oh wow, I completely forgot Kim Richards was in James at 15. My prepubescent self LOVED her in the Witch Mountain saga.

Well of course not!

It wasn't called Jimbo At 15, now was it??

Did you see her in Tuff Turf? A total babe by then (1984).
