1960's Records

Manfred Mann, born on October 21, 1940 in Johannesburg, South Africa, is a renowned musician and one of the world's best Moog players. He began playing piano at the age of 5 and later moved to the UK in 1961 due to dissatisfaction with his home country. Initially hired by Mike Hugg for his band, which eventually became *Mann-Hugg Blues Brothers*, Manfred Mann signed a contract with EMI in 1963 and renamed the band *Manfred Mann*. Throughout the 60s, they achieved a string of pop hits before disbanding in 1969 despite their commercial success.
In that same year, Mann and Hugg formed *Manfred Mann Chapter Three*, an Jazz-Rock oriented group that released two albums but disbanded in late 1970 due to lack of success. Turning towards Rock music, Manfred Mann then created *Manfred Mann's Earth Band* (MMEB) in 1971. The band's sound was defined by his exceptional use of the Moog synthesizer. MMEB experienced great success during the mid-70s and early-80s before disbanding in 1987 as Mann grew frustrated with trying to produce hit records.
Mann subsequently embarked on a project called *Manfred Mann's Plain Music*, focusing primarily on Native American Indian music and releasing one record. In 1991, he reformed MMEB

Manfred Mann began his hit-making career in January 1964, when he wrote 5-4-3-2-1, the theme tune for a brand new TV show in the UK, Ready Steady Go. Side One of this collection consists of live broadcast versions ofsome of Mann‘s earliest records with Paul Jones on vocals. Jones left the group in mid 1966 to pursue a solo career and the recordings on Side Two were made in late 1966-67 by a new line-up with replacement singer, Mike D’Abo. It includes an early version of D’Abo’s celebrated song, Handbags And Gladrags and the very first public airing of Dylan‘s The Mighty Quinn.
