Don't Listen to Howard! Buy this CD!

+ Brawling & Bawling Out Of Belfast
+ Great Cd From Them

Do not listen to Howard and his vinyl hype and turntable jargon! I am getting REALLY tired of all these technophobes and their turntables and other OLD technology running off at the mouth about how horrible cd's are. It's this simple: if you are listening to rock music on vinyl and you're not a DJ, ...

Hollywood Records, 1993

Great for content not the sound

+ Missed Gems
+ missing hits...

Too bad such an incredible group and great songs have to be in boring MONO. There are fantastic stereo versions of Glad all over And Any way you want it,out there, with echoes and special effects,etc. But it looks like we will never hear them. Buy at your own risk, but be warned-it gets dull ...

Manfred Mann

Emd Int'l, 1995

Worthy addition to a British Invasion collection

For a band that changed it musical style almost as often as its personnel, the output of Manfred Mann was surprisingly good across the various genre in which the band played. Beginning with the archtypical beat sound - right down to use of a Brill Building writing team for their first US hit - and ...
