I never could go to sleep when a new Manfred Mann track was played on British pirate radio or Radio Luxemburg in the 60s. Remember the Manfred Mann EPs? They went far beyond hit machine thinking. There was always that special musical quality to whatever song the group recorded. Listening to this from Norway on a small transistor radio meant I really HAD to listen! The rewards were plentiful!

To appreciate this music you have to expose yourself to the musical details here and not think too much about what other critics have been focusing on, be it "hits" or "genres". Manfred Mann were a group of musical individualists coming together in the studio with the good producer John Burgess. You can hear they had fun together and stretched out their musical ideas to create this absolutely terrific music, popular masterpieces of blues, jazz, soul & beyond. This is the total output from those creative days. You'll be amazed of the scope of musical details here, of inventiveness and drive in solos & arrangements. This music is still maturing, like old vintage wine. This is in fact a whole wine cellar! Enjoy.

I bought this set as I felt it was long overdue.I am a Manfreds fan from way back. I had listened to Tom McGuinness on the radio recently promoting this set so I could not wait to order it. I had wished that the Mike D'Abo years had been included depite them being on Fontana at the time.My gripe with this set is that I had really thought at the price it would be a long box with a substantial booklet like lots of other similarly priced sets. Instead EMI have stuck it in a CD sized case the sort that double cds were housed in years ago I think they called them "fat boxes". The booklet although it has some interesting photos etc is fairly flimsy. I think Tom McGuiness could have made more effort with the sleeve notes as I found them a great dissapointment! EMI have let Manfred Mann fans down badly with this product. If one looks at most Beatles cds that EMI put out they hardly go overboard with the packaging on them considering how much the Beatles made for EMI. Come on guys I know that you can do better than this. My advice to fans would be save your money to spend on a ticket to see The Manfreds live. Maybe by that time EMI will have repackaged this set.

By C. O'Brien TOP 1000 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Audio CD
Virtuoso keyboardist Manfred Mann has had a long career, from the earliest days playing jazz in his home town of Johannesburg to his formative years as the driving force behind the early 60s British blues-rock combo that bore his name. The group went through many lineup changes, but this EMI collection focuses on the years 1963-1966, when singer/harmonica player Paul Jones fronted the band.

This was the period when most of the bands hits were made, though their hearts lay less in poppy crossover numbers like 5-4-3-2-1, Do Wah Diddy Diddy and Pretty Flamingo as in the blues-based workouts collected here.

CD1 is stuffed with cover of blues standards like Smokestack Lightning, I'm Your Hoochie Coochie Man and I've Got My Mojo Working and CDs 2 and 3 get a little more left-of-centre, trying all sorts of eccentric material including Tennessee Waltz and Dashing Away With The Smoothing Iron. Many tracks memorably showcase the voice of Paul Jones - yes, the same Paul Jones who later became an actor and who now presents the R&B show on BBC Radio 2. Although he never had the raw edge of Steve Marriott or Rod Stewart in their time, he's nevertheless an effective blues shouter with a clear, ringing tone.

CD4 is for real completists, including some mildly insane big band jazz instrumental versions of 60s benchmark singles like Sonny and Cher's I Got You Babe, The Who's My Generation and the Stones' Satisfaction. There's also the band's first commercial test session for EMI and a scratchy early interview.

Manfred Mann was later to have more hits with the eco-friendly Earth Band in the 70s, and is now back with both Paul Jones and later vocalist Mike d'Abo in the reunited Manfreds, which also features original drummer Mike Hugg and guitarist Tom McGuinness.

This timely retrospective is really more of a treat for blues completists than a greatest hits collection, but its first two discs in particular have much to offer anyone curious about the rootsy influences behind everyone from Led Zeppelin to the White Stripes.
