THE PHILIP COHEN COLLECTION: MANFRED’S ON THE ROAD AGAIN
The best year for Manfred Mann’s Earth Band is arguably 1976 when Blinded By The Light hit the charts.
MANFRED MANN’S EARTH BAND
Retro Rock Concert [no label, 1CD]
Likely live at the Spectrum, Philadelphia, Oct 15, 1976. Taken from syndicated radio show LP. Ex SBD stereo.
“From the American radio show ‘Retro Rock’, and taken from an original ‘Retro Rock’ syndication LP. Unfortunately, when I had the use of the LP, I didn’t write down any specific information about the broadcast date. I also added several brief interviews that were also taken from syndication records.” - Philip Cohen
The bonus on offer is what appears to be the complete show at The Spectrum. Sound quality is a bit less than Phil Cohen’s pre-FM source. Enjoy and thanks to all who share.
