James Last - Around the World 🌎 

"The fantastic music from ""Around the World"" is familiar to many fans, but others will be surprised to discover so much musical creativity and superb arrangements in one set. James Last leads the music lover through different realms and that as only he could. This masterpiece was produced as a teaser for his first Germany tour. How everything led to a Germany tour, we describe in the following story.In 1969 Hans-Werner Funke's concert agency put together the programme for the ""Ball der Werbung"" at the Atlantic Hotel in Hamburg. The Agency contacted James Last to ask if he wanted to play. Hansi: ""I held it up to the good possibility of also testing out with us in Germany whether we would resonate with the audience live and so I gave my agreement."" Hansi continues, ""The ball was a great success: the audience danced, clapped and joined in enthusiastically. I had the feeling that even with us, where the audience does not always react as spontaneously as in other countries, where people are generally more open to performing, we would have success almost with certainty.""Interesting was the reaction of the hotel's head waiter who had overheard many positive comments from the ball guests and said to Hans-Werner Funke: ""You should go on tour with him!"" That statement was decisive and in late February 1970 the phone rang at Hansi's house. It was Hans-Werner Funke: ""Mr Last, I would like to talk about the possibility of organising a tour of Germany."" Hansi said yes! After try-out- concerts and a few performances in Denmark, the official premiere took place on Sunday 10th October 1970 at the Westfalenhalle in Dortmund with singer Katja Ebstein as guest star.From then on, James Last would take the world by storm with his concerts:JAMES LAST AROUND THE WORLD!---------------------------------------------------The album ""Around the World"" is now also available digitally on streaming platforms.
