Written by Deke Leonard, who joins and leaves the band numerous times during the eight year history of this book, this is all at once informative, dramatic, humorous and downright entertaining. Thrill to the tales of the lads from Wales who ended up stoned in all manner of places and with all manner of folk.Great pictorail evidence is included.
Debut album from 1968 by the Welsh legends. Arguably their most psychedelic album, it features plenty of West Coast influences and weird effects such as during the psych sex blast "Erotica" and the beautiful flowing instrumental cut "Prelude/The Storm". Plenty of jamming Keyboard and guitar work results in a gem of UK psych.
Double CD twinning Man's first two albums 'Revelation' and 'Two Oz Of Plastic (With A Hole In The Middle)' 1968's Revelation is arguably their most psychedelic album as it features plenty of West Coast influences and weird effects such as during the psych sex blast "Erotica" and the beautiful flowing instrumental cut "Prelude/The Storm". The second album from 1969 draws on more US West Coast influences such as Love and The Doors. Superb psych/prog from this legendary Welsh band.
Released in 1975 after the band had picked up a following on the US West Coast , this live album includes contributions from John Cipollina of Quicksilver Messenger Service! Tracks include "7171-551" "Codine" "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" "Many Are Called, But Few Get Up" and the dope anthem "Bananas".
Double CD with live and studio recordings from 1972 to 1994 from the long career of this much loved UK psych/festival/jamming band. With tracks clocking in at up to 20 minutes in length (a recording of "Spunk Rock" from the Roundhouse in 1972@ 21 mins!) and detailed liner notes this is a dream come true for Man fans.…
180 gram gatefold vinyl pressing of the third album from 1970 by the Welsh legends. The influence of West Coast bands such as Quicksilver is much in evidence here with the twin lead guitar onslaught of Mickey Jones and Deke Leonard. Some great extended tripped out jams are the highlight of this superb album which includes the oddly titled "Would The Christians Wait Five Minutes The Lions are Having a Draw" - which is as wild as it's title suggests - and the driving "Romain". A superb album.

Featuring tracks recorded live in 1972 at two of Man's most inspired London performances. The first two tracks are from the Greasy Truckers Ball held at the Roundhouse where the band appeared alongside Hawkwind and Brinsley Schwarz, while the remaining five tracks are from a live performance at the Rainbow Theatre. Gatefold double album with embossed cover and pressed on 180 gram vinyl.
Amazing live album from the Welsh rockers who have stood the test of time well as this album shows. Creative guitar interplay like early Quiclsilver still prevails.Excellent opening cut C'mon lasts 17 minutes and sets the scene for the rest of the disc. Recorded around 1994.
A historically significant chapter in the story of this great Welsh aggregation, as this was the last tour on which Deke Leonard played with the band before retiring to write books. The Man band's turbulent history has seen members come and go what seemed practically like every five minutes: these days only Mickey Jones and Martin Ace remain from the original lineup, but the band have not one iota of their love of playing diminished. This is actually the first DVD the band have released, and a such it's ironic that it should describe such a poignant occasion in the band's career- but rather than looking downhearted, they tear through 'Daughter Of The Fireplace' 'Spunk Rock' 'Romain' and 'Stuck Behind The Popemobile' with the fire of a man (or indeed a Man Band) posessed. Region 0 PAL disc.
Great performance from 1972 by the much loved UK Welsh psych jamming band, recorded during the pinnacle of their career. Including a fifteen minute version of "C'Mon" a fourteen minute "Bananas" and twenty minute "Life On the Road" this is a great document of an era when track length and not size mattered.LAST COPY OF THIS DELETED GEM

Man's second classic album for Liberty/UA - now 24-bit remastered from the original master tapes with previously unreleased bonus tracks.

The reissue is expanded by 35 minutes featuring three previously unreleased live bonus tracks from 1971 and liner notes exclusively penned by Man guitarist and raconteur Deke Leonard.
Stunning artifact from the peak of the early '70's UK freak scene. Arguably the best album from the Welsh psychedelic band who were heavily into West Coast US guitar psych. This 1972 release contained just four long tracks, with "C'Mon" and "Bananas" being the the stand-outs. Both feature lengthy twin guitar extensions, trippy keyboard space jams and all out twin guitar, acid rock weirdness. Stands up along with classics by Gong and Hawkwind as one of the definitive UK acid psych classics of the '70's....
Stunning artifact from the peak of the early '70's UK freak scene. Arguably the best album from the Welsh psychedelic band who were heavily into West Coast US guitar psych. This 1972 release contained just four long tracks, with "C'Mon" and "Bananas" (one of the band's two best songs) being the the stand-outs.

Superb follow up to the 1972 classic "Be Good To Yourself" dating from 1973. Originally a double album, it's an ambitious project with one side live and one side studio. The studio material is diverse and features complex production. The live material includes a version of "C'mon" recorded live at The Roundhouse. Great. Remastered and with extensive sleeve notes.
Classic second album from 1969, by the first line up of the Welsh psych/prog rock band who drew on US West Coast influences such as Love and The Doors. A fine example of US influenced UK psych.

Emerging from the live circuit of Wales, Man were among the first to establish the Pub Rock scene in the late '60's. This doesn't cover half of their sound, incorporating psychedelia, harder rock and the odd progressive moment to make them stand alone at the start of the '70's. This REMASTERED two CD set brings together the best elements of their three albums for United Artists, "Back In The Future", "Rhinos, Winos And Lunatics" and "Maximum Darkness" as well as three unreleased tracks. Twenty tracks that includes "Daughter On The Fire Place", "Spunk Rock", "California Silks And Satins" and "Grasshopper" make this a fine edition to the Man back catalogue.Great colour detailed booklet rounds off the set.
CD of what was MAN's first studio recording in 16 years,originally released in 1992 on Independant "Road Goes On Forever" this was Deke,Martin,Micky & Pugwash in cracking form,with two English & two European tours to go alongside this releae,the band proved that the new material was just as strong as the old,listen to: "A Feather On The Scales Of Justice","Mad On Her","Wings Of Mercury" & "Jumpin' Like A Kangaroo" and all the old vibes are there,the band even recorded a Video for the track Women for MTV. Man had returned and it was only the beginning of what was to follow.
This is the first New Studio album from the new line up of Man featuring Martin Ace, Bob Richards, George Jones and Josh Ace and represents a whole new era for the band that celebrates its fortieth anniversary in 2008.This 2007 release is housed in a tasteful digi pack and contains 9 tracks of Man just how we like them.
Live performance filmed at the Roundhouse in 1976, this DVD features highlights from their three day tenure plus interviews with the band, their manager and even the hard working put upon road crew. The band are in top form but lets face it when were they not in top form? In addition to the informative and hugely enlightening interviews the band perform some classic Man material including: "Born With A Future", "Bananas" and "Babe Im Gonna Leave You." This fascinating documentary has rarely been seen since the original film was broadcast in the late seventies and as such will be highly anticipated by the large and devoted fan base still commanded by Man and as such gives a great insight into what the band were all about during their seventies heyday. DVD, Region: 0 Ratio: 4:3 Sound
When this live in the studio performance was taped for German television Martin Ace had only been back in the band for just over two weeks. His recall to the ranks of Man was due to the sudden departure of the previous bassist in Man Ken Whaley. This line up of Man however was only ever considered a temporary solution to the bands problems and following a tour and the subsequent live album entitled Maximum Darkness, Martin Ace headed off once more to pastures new . The set included the long time Man staples "Cmon", "Many Are Called But Few Get Up" and "Romain" alongside some newer material such as "Hard Way To Die" from the bands most recent album Slow Motion and "Someone Is Calling" which had surfaced during the sessions for Slow Motion but unfortunately due to the restrictions of vinyl was omitted from the final running order. Region: 0, Ratio: 4:3, Sound: Stereo.
