"An English Gentleman" is the second single from the album The Great Western by Welsh singer-songwriter James Dean Bradfield, released on 25 September 2006 on Columbia Records."[1][page needed] The title track pays tribute to the late Manics publicist Philip Hall.[2] Also featured on the CD version of the single is a cover Frank Sinatra's "Summer Wind", Bradfield's favourite song.[3]

The initial pressings of the red 7" single were actually made with black vinyl, some of which were sent out to distributors by mistake."[1][page needed]
