The group's second British album -- released just as the original lineup was entering a state of collapse with the impending departure of two key members -- shows some of the changes that can happen in a year, as they moved away from Chess Records' brand of blues as their baseline. Instead, they produced a sound that's slightly smoother and a lot more soulful. A handful of originals, mostly by Mike Vickers and Mike Hugg with one Paul Jones-authored number thrown in, are scattered amid covers of songs originated by the Temptations, the Skyliners, and T-Bone Walker. If it isn't as fierce, bold, or daringly ambitious as the Manfreds' debut long-player, Mann Made is just as much a virtuoso effort, and a surprisingly cohesive one, considering that it was released immediately after Mike Vickers and Paul Jones announced their respective departures from the band.

·                               CONDITION:

·                               RECORD

 (IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we  grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

(a)          WE GRADE THE VINYL  AS  NEAR MINT. Some VERY LIGHT AND SUPERFICIAL abrasions – mostly sleeve scuffs -  are (barely) visible, but are probably inaudible,  and do not affect visual integrity or beauty of the vinyl. The original luster is very much intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.

(b)          The record is pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!

(c)           True stereo pressings of this album are not known to exist; this is an electronically rechannelled pressing.

(d)          Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!

·       COVER

COVER IS NEAR MINT,  STILL IN ITS ORIGINAL ?SHRINK WRAP (PLASTIC BAGGY)

The following flaws or imperfections are noted on the cover:

-        Note: the previous owner taped the edges of the shrink wrap along the opening slot to the INSIDE of the cover by using two pieces of clear scotch tape on each side. We stress that the tape is not even touching the visible, external part of the cover and is entirely ON THE INSIDE of the cover. This can be easily removed.

-         Cover has some writing in plain PENCIL on its back side, which can be easily and effortlessly erased (3 small track timings added to the song listing)

-         Cover shows JUST A HINT of yellowing on back side, apparently from aging.   (nothing significant)

-         Cover has a few tiny wrinkles along the spine (nothing significant)

-        No split seams
