Manfred Mann - World of Mann: The Very Best of...(2CD Remaster Edit 2006)

Digitally Remastered Anthology Comprehensively Surveys the Entire Recording Career of One of the Most Endearing and Enduring Figures in Rock Music. The Tracks Date Back to 1964 with the Group Manfred Mann's First Single "5-4-3-2-1" to the Earth Band's Unique 2004 Version of the Super Furry Animal's Song "Demons" (Retitled as "Demons and Dragons"). It also Includes a Rare Recording by Mike D'abo of Manfred Mann of "Handbags and Gladrags", which He Composed and Became a Hit for Rod Stewart as Well as the Stereophonics a Generation Later as Well as Finding Fame as the Theme to the Hit TV Show "The Office" .

I really like several of Manfred Mann's most popular songs and wanted them all in one collection. This collection offers them all: The Mighty Quinn, Do-Wah Diddy, Pink Flamingo, Blinded by the Light (full version), Spirits in the Night, and Runner. It ends with a rousing live edition of The Mighty Quinn. The mastering is excellent--but there are absolutely NO liner notes past the general track information. You'd think with such a career spanning set there would be some brief history inside...D. W. Kelly
