A PHILIPS RECORD PRODUCT
This historical LP is hardly ever offered for sale in this condition – if ever.
“The first time I heard this album I was just in awe. This is by far one of the most amazing enjoyable collections of music I have ever listened to. And I have listened to it a lot.”
This is the very rare real thing: a genuine NEAR MINT CONDITION 1969 UK FIRST PRESSING. The record is in perfect condition, as is the rare “swirl” inner, and the cover is also in excellent condition for its age – only slightly spoiled by a small area of surface damage on the top right front (I can’t remember now if it was a label). All items are free from any other major defects such as tears, dog ears or writing. See pics. All items are the genuine originals bought together by me in 1969 (one careful owner!) not reprints or replacements. The LP is the original 1969 UK stereo LP, which was only played occasionally on top-end audiophile equipment and lovingly cared for.
“Is this prog-rock or jazz-rock fusion? Whatever it is, it's essential. Rocking, driving, mysterious.”
Manfred Mann Chapter Three is the debut album released in 1969 by Manfred Mann Chapter Three. It was one of the three first albums released on the Vertigo record label. The principal members of the group were Manfred Mann and Mike Hugg. Mann played the organ and acted as the group's musical arranger, whilst Hugg handled vocals, played piano and was the chief song writer. The group was augmented by a five-piece brass section and several distinguished jazz soloists.
It's light years from the airy pop of "Do Wah Diddy", recorded by the hit-making first group formed by South African Manfred Mann and Mike Hugg in 1963. This is as much jazz as rock. There's hardly any guitar, but a swaggering horn section compensates. Imagine a darker, moodier Traffic with Mann manning the organ instead of Steve Winwood. Hugg's raspy vocals are featured on the first album recorded with the new band. The standout tracks are the album-opening "Travelling Lady" and "Time", but they are hardly the only strong ones.
This may be your only ONCE IN A LIFETIME chance to own this rare piece of music history in this condition.
“The music is in a word exciting, probably too much at some places. But the album should be (or: has to be) mentioned in a row with Valentyne Suite or In The Court of the Crimson King as one of the first real progressive rock albums.”
A fantastic time warp example of this rarity in amazing condition, a true investment grade item - get it while you can!
