An absolute gem. I was fifteen at the time and just wore the record out at my buddies house at 69 Carlyle Strreet in Brighton.

Anybody else remember the Glenn Miller mini-revival in the mid-Seventies? Loads of Home Counties poseurs in US GI uniforms and their girls in wartime frilly skirts, pretending that Little Brown Jug was and always had been their music of choice. Two-page features in The Sun and all the rest of it. Mercifully punk came along and blew that shit RIGHT out of the water earlydoors 
Although I consider myself a rocker, good music is good music, whatever style on gnre it is. In The Mood is excellent, as well as Pennsylvania 6500

I really like the whole "big band" genre. I used to play trumpet in a band, and my dad used to listen to little else than James Last when I was kid.
I've actually been to see James Last and Sid Lawrence in concert. Splendid stuff indeed.

Oh dear, I have always thought of James Last as a musical rapist.

Oh god no. Theres a DJ in my local who still thinks that Jive Bunny are "modern and relevant". I think he just does it to clear the dancefloor to be honest.
Ironically, he DJs with his son. Theres a possibility they ARE Jive Bunny then, although his son looks about 15 and wasn't alive when the songs came out...

Wasn't there a version of In the Mood sung by chickens, called In the Brood?

I just bought Ella Fitzgerald - Gold. It is truly excellent and if there is ever a voice that is as smooth as silk, its hers.

If Glenn had lived, rather than foolishly dying, do you think he would have ever fallen into the shadowy world of drugs that seem to be a pitfall for a lot of working muso's?
