Starsailor have arranged to have their next album produced by Phil Spector. The legend has worked with artists such as John Lennon, Ike and Tina Turner, George Harrison, The Ronnettes and The Ramones.
James Talking to XFM :
"We met him in LA after one of our shows, and went round his house - which was actually a castle,"
"He hasn't done anything since working with The Ramones so it was a massive honour to work with him. We'll do one song with him and see how it goes. It might not work but then again it might."
