Man were one of the most promising rock bands to come out of Wales in the early '70s.
Along with Brinsley Schwarz, they helped establish the core of the pub rock sound,
but they played louder and also had a progressive component to their work that separated them
from many of their rivals. The group originated as a Four Seasons-cum-Beach Boys
vocal outfit, based in Swansea, Wales, called the Bystanders, who began experimenting
with a tougher, more progressive sound on-stage.
They were encouraged to pursue this direction, and Man were formed

Alongside Christmas at the Patti, Live at the Padget Rooms, Penarth ranks among the all-time greatest Man
concert recordings, the sound of the band at the peak of its game in 1972.
The recording's genesis lay in Man's contributions to the Greasy Truckers benefit album, recorded and released
a little earlier in the year. Though Man was granted little more than one side of vinyl, the marathon (22-minute)
version of "Spunk Rock" that ensued has since been described by Deke Leonard as one of the best things
the band ever released -- and that despite the vinyl version fading in some ten minutes into the actual performance!
For this latest release, there would be no such shortcomings. With a raw sound that seems to spill straight
out of the amps, just three songs devour the album, including a remarkable rendition of the so evocative
"Daughter of the Fireplace" and a positively yowling take on "Many Are Called, But Few Are Raised,"
a live staple that had long since outgrown its studio incarnation. "H Samuel," titled for a once-thriving chain
of British jewelry stores, completes the set with further dynamic improvisation, leaving the album hovering
closer to the brink of a massive stoner rock-jazz fusion hybrid than any other Man album ever dared to go.
One needed to move astonishingly quickly to hear this remarkable treasure, however.
As with the Greasy Truckers and Christmas at the Patti albums, Live at the Padget Rooms,
Penarth was a budget-priced limited edition of just 8,000 copies and, though it entered the mid-priced LP
chart at number one, the album then disappeared completely seven days later...(AllMusic)
