Editorial Reviews

Manfred Mann was a British Beat, R&B and Pop band of the 1960s, named after its South African keyboard player and founder, who later led the successful 1970s follow-on group Manfred Mann's Earth Band. Frustrated with the limitations and image of being seen purely as a hit singles band (their last two albums failed to chart), the group split in 1969, while their final hit, "Ragamuffin Man", was in the Top 10.

I only really knew of "Mighty Quinn" and "Do Wah Diddy", so was shocked to find some really rocking stuff on here. I'd seen a video of "Hubble Bubble" somewhere, so wanted to find out what else I was missing. Granted, there is a lot of fluffy pop, but there are a lot of really rocking garage and blues tunes as well. Also, the very last song "Up the Junction" is absolutely top notch 60's Psychedelia. If you're really into 60's stuff, you owe it to yourself to give this CD a listen.
