{"product_id":"manfred-mann-mann-made","title":"Manfred Mann - Mann Made Vinyl Record","description":"\u003cp\u003eMann Made is Manfred Mann proving there was serious musicianship behind the run of hit singles, cut at Abbey Road in 1965 and now remastered with sleeve notes from Tom McGuinness himself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy late 1965 the band had already delivered 5-4-3-2-1, Do Wah Diddy Diddy, and If You Gotta Go, Go Now, enough chart success that a lesser group might have coasted on it. This second album does the opposite, produced by John Burgess and engineered by Norman Hurricane Smith, and it leans hard into the jazz and R\u0026amp;B instincts the singles only hinted at, Mike Vickers moving between sax and flute, Mike Hugg on vibraphone as much as drums, Manfred Mann's keyboard work pushing the arrangements somewhere more sophisticated than the Top of the Pops era usually allowed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Way You Do the Things You Do takes a Temptations song and gives it a genuinely soulful reading, Paul Jones' vocal and harmonica doing real work. Bare Hugg is a pure instrumental showcase, and their cover of You Don't Know Me strips things back to something more restrained and tender than the band's reputation for energy suggests. Stormy Monday Blues closes with the group's jazz leanings fully on display.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSixty years on, this is the record that argues Manfred Mann were never just a singles band. The evidence holds up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSince I Don't Have You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou're for Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLook Away\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Abominable Snowmann\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWatch Your Step\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStormy Monday Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Really Do Believe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHi Lili, Hi Lo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Way You Do the Things You Do\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBare Hugg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou Don't Know Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eL.s.d.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI'll Make It Up to You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Vinyl.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43119017263179,"sku":"5060051334207","price":43.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/7223\/1499\/files\/Manfred_Mann_-_Mann_Made.jpg?v=1788365095","url":"https:\/\/rockbandmerch.com\/products\/manfred-mann-mann-made","provider":"Rock Band Merch","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
