I'd certainly like to know what the tracks are, please. I can't believe that Decca, or whatever mega-conglomeration they are owned by nowadays, have still not re-released all those classic Argo label albums. Half a dozen were re-released on the Marcophon label, of course, but still no sign of Modern Brass, Romantic Brass, Just Brass or even Pictures. Scandalous, really.
Pictures in on the Greatest Hits compilation, though!
Anyway, James; here are the tracks:
