Manfred Mann's original material from the early and mid-'60s were British Invasion stars knocking out hit records like "Diddy Wa Diddy" amid their formative R&B styled rock crafts, more early Rolling Stones than Beatles, yet a popular British touring band under the Beatlemania Invasion banner during the early mid 60's rock 'n'roll scene. By '68 The Manfred Mann broke up, Manffed and his organ yearned to stretch musical ideas out with the far more challenging if not interesting persuit as progressive rock pioneers. Taking along Mike Hugg (vocals, keyboards) from the 60's band, the new crew under the "Manfred Mann Chapter Three" monikor signed to then new prog label Vertigo, created two completely different (highly adventurous) albums from their beat-rock sound.
Vertigo with their ears to the ground signed the "MM Chapter 3" band having strange/unique blends of Jazz inflected rock, ala "Canturbury" sound in parts, with mixes not out place with Doctor John's "Gris Gris" era... What is out of place were listeners giving confused "reviews" -the album clearly going over heads. Remains a terrific "grower" with repeat listens - fitting in with Vertigo's roster.

The original ensemble of band-mates (long before the Earth Band), well documented to include great musical ideas in effort to somewhere fit in with effort to fit into the psychedelic scene. One should listen to these original works if you're into the prog and psych scene..

This album is something of a musical paradox for Manfred Mann's Chapter 3. Something unexpected and gorgeous, especially combining with the hauntingly mysterious backing themes-

"Do Wah Diddy Diddy" Manfred Mann is here , but the mesh of rock-jazz and distorted bass is almost nonexistent in make any comparison.
"Snakeskin Garter" is an absolute lock-in groove that expands effortlessly and jams well. The vocals which are a ear-peaking blend on quite a few of these tracks and this one is an absolute testament to that, as does the Yardbirds classic "Mister You're a Better Man Than I. You even get these amazing instrumental pieces that causes the listener to feel dazed and jarred by the wall of sound smacking one in the face. Added are these almost out-of-rhythm winds and percussions that lend highlighted backing to such textures.
"Devil Woman" is a Dr John 'Gris-Gris' groove with haunting back melody and 'vibe' hitting immediately.
"One Way Glass" is a fully textured masterclass in layering.
Lyrically and musically, the Lp is so hard to capture to describe. You can just feel the stress, the frustration Manfred Mann was more than likely feeling at the hectic time in his musicianship. Having had to fully change his approach and restart with a whole new group and sound.
All in all, this album deserves far more ears. Most of the material is solid with progressive and psychedelic elements. Highlighted by "Snakeskin Garter" but there are many other neat tracks as well and encouraged to anyone enjoying progressive music to lend this album your ears and mind
