Product Description
For the ultimate single CD covering the entire hit career of MANFRED MANN, look no further than Raven’s superbly compiled The Essential Singles 1963-1969 – a comprehensive multi-label 28 track collection featuring the very best of their recordings for HMV 1963-66 and Fontana/Mercury 1966-1969. Seen as part of the all encompassing British Invasion of the early 1960s, Manfred Mann was far from a standard British Beat band. Always musically adept and diverse – with a command of gritty R&B, jazz, rock and accomplished pop – they possessed a deft commercial touch, delivering a staggering 17 UK and four US Top 40 hits before the decade had expired.
Covering both the Paul Jones and Mike d’Abo years, every hit single is included here: the #1 ‘Do Wah Diddy Diddy’, ‘The One in the Middle’, ‘Sha La La’, ‘Come Tomorrow’, ‘Pretty Flamingo’, ‘Just Like a Woman’, ‘Semi-Detached Suburban Mr James’, ‘Mighty Quinn’, ‘My Name is Jack’, ‘Fox on the Run’. Also included are such enticing recordings as a smoking R&B ‘Smokestack Lightning’, ‘Watermelon Man’, ‘My Little Red Book’, ‘With God on Our Side’ and ‘John Hardy’ plus the full length version of the soundtrack theme to ‘Up the Junction’. With superb audio quality, detailed liner notes and a range of rare images this is the perfect companion piece to Raven’s previous examination of Manfred Mann’s extraordinary career, the 53-track deluxe double CD All Manner Of Menn.1.
