MANFRED MANN "the five faces of manfred mann" cd, 1964
their UK debut album,
same title as their second US album but an almost totally different tracklist...
three old blues covers on here, several jazzy tunes but all round r+b throughout...
as a footnote i took my mum to see The Manfreds' live just prior to the whole covid thing and they were fantastic.
both singers (Paul Jones and his replacement Mike D'Abo) were both there so we got the entire career spanning eras...
met the band after the show and they were so down to earth, my mum had her photo taken with Paul Jones and she was absolutely beside herself as he was her 'crush' growing up..
anyway, back on track, a solid album but slightly too bluesy in places for me to say i love it,
that said it is a good album and rates at 2.2 which means...
I LIKE THIS ALBUM
