Synopsis

Album Description

2008 digitally remastered and expanded three CD edition of the first UK chart album from the Welsh Rock legends featuring two bonus studio tracks plus the entire Roundhouse live performance that was originally edited down to one of the two LPs on the original 1973 vinyl release. For this set, Man were joined on stage by a male voice choir, possibly the only time spaced out free flowing rock had fused with the unique sound of Welsh voices. The result was a wonderful album which charted in the UK and Germany and broke Man to a wider audience in Britain. Esoteric.

CD Reviews

Fantastic

Todd Hawley | San Francisco CA | 07/26/2008

(5 out of 5 stars)

"The new reissue of this classic by Man does not disappoint. As mentioned, the reissue contains all of Man's 1973 show at the Roundhouse on Discs Two and Three, plus the original LP on Disc One. For those of you not familiar with Man, they were probably the closest to a SF 60s band the British Isles had in the early to mid 1970s. Two of the jams from this show were on the original LP and appear here too. One of them (Jam up Jelly Tight) is two or three minutes longer. There are also two singles Man recorded in 1973 included too. I had cassette copies of both of them and it's a pleasure to now have them on CD. What a pleasure to hear all of this in one box set.

Any Man fanatic like myself simply must have this reissue. And anyone wanting to listen to how a Welsh band can sound like Quicksilver or early Steve Miller or any other SF band of the 60s should give this CD a listen. And if you like what you hear, be sure and check out their other CDs, like Rhinos, Winos & Lunatics and Be Good to Yourself At Least Once A Day."

3 cd's of pure joy

"I've been purchasing & listening to many bands from the 70's that I somehow missed. This band "MAN" is one of the best I've discovered & can't believe I missed. This album, in particular, is phenomenal. I just got done listening to it a second time (all 3 CD's) this week while away on a camping trip. The original album is top notch for a studio album, but the two live CD's blow me away. Would of loved to have seen these guys back then. Got another one of their 70's albums on the way, their that good."
