I also have 'Before and After Science" which is very good, "Another Green World" I think is starting to lean towards the spareness of his ambient work in places.Quote:

Spinning now, probably my favourite Manfred Mann's Earth Band album, although they are all good, this one is IMO the most avant-garde and is certainly one of those standout prog/rock albums from the 70's along with, Golden Earring's - Moontan, and Atomic Rooster's - The Devil Bites Back.
If you haven't heard it once then give it a go, some driving rock with soaring organ, sublime guitar solos floating over and interesting songs, with a few effects along the way.

Those song titles take me back, mostly late '71 to '72 I would say. I had about half of those singles, I hadn't progressed to buying albums till '73 :) They certainly could cram the tracks on those compilations back then, but on most people's record players the effect on sound quality went pretty much unnoticed.Quote:

Similar to me Adrian, I turned 14 in Jan '72. My brother had got an old (even then) Philips reel to reel for Christmas, and we used to hang the microphone over the back of a dining chair in front of the telly speaker to record Top of the Pops.Quote:

Was listening to this the other dayQuote:

Always liked CCR, had a few of their singles back in the day, Run through the Jungle being my favourite. I don't have this, but have a "Best of", and "Cosmo's Factory" which I'd recommend :)Quote:
