Mastered from the Original Master Tapes! One of the Greatest Albums of the British Invasion!
The British Invasion Masterpiece!
Manfred Manns 1964 U.S. debut The Manfred Mann Album is widely regarded as one of the greatest albums of the British Invasion, and its easy to hear why. With the catchy smash single Do Wah Diddy Diddy alongside powerful readings of classics by Bo Diddley, Muddy Waters, Howlin Wolf and Ike and Tina Turner, its a transcendent meeting of pop infectiousness and R&B grit that sets the stage for the musical achievements that the band would soon begin to rack up.
Although many of the British Invasions most prominent bands were comprised of inexperienced rockers learning their craft as they went along, Manfred Mann was something different. The versatile British quintet, which took its collective name from that of its South African-born keyboardist, was comprised of four seasoned musicians with a solid grounding in jazz and blues, plus a charismatic frontman who was also one of Englands finest blue-eyed soul singers. Together, the five members of Manfred Mannor the Manfreds, as their fans called themturned their diverse talents towards rock n roll, and came up with a series of albums and singles that are among the catchiest and most enduring of the period.
"Manfred Mann's debut full-length U.S. platter was probably their strongest, and indeed one of the stronger British Invasion albums of the very competitive year of 1964. Besides the smash 'Do Wah Diddy Diddy,' it contained a number of fine soul and R&B covers. Standouts were the versions of 'Untie Me' and Ike & Tina Turner's 'It's Gonna Work Out Fine,' as well as the strong pounding Paul Jones original, 'Without You'." - Richie Unterberger, allmusic.com
