The debut album by Manfred Mann holds up even better 40 years on than it did in 1964. It's also one of the longest LPs of its era, clocking in at 39 minutes, and there's not a wasted note or a song extended too far among its 14 tracks. The Manfreds never had the reputation that the Rolling Stones enjoyed, which is a shame, because The Five Faces of Manfred Mann is one of the great blues-based British invasion albums; it's a hot, rocking record that benefits from some virtuoso playing as well, and some of the best singing of its era, courtesy of Paul Jones, who blew most of his rivals out of the competition with his magnificently impassioned, soulful performance on "Untie Me," and his simmering, lusty renditions of "Smokestack Lightning" and "Bring It to Jerome."
Side 1:
Smokestack Lightning
Don't Ask Me What I Say
Sack O'Woe
What You Gonna Do
Hoochie Coochie
I'm Your Kingpin
Down The Road Apiece
Side 2:
I've Got My Mojo Working
It's Gonna Work Out Fine
Mr. Anello
Untie Me
Bring It To Jerome
Without You
You've Got To Take It
LABELS: EXCELLENT+
Clean, unmarked labels - moderate spindle traces
VINYL Visual: EXCELLENT
A couple of superficial thumbnail markings on the the first track and brush marks to the surfaces but none of these marks have any audible impact
VINYL Audio: NEAR MINT
My play-check at volume found nothing to fault the strong, deep, rich and warm MONO cut - plays beautifully throughout - a fine sounding copy which would be pretty hard to beat
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT+
Crisp and sharp with a deep gloss to the front laminate and a clean back - and like all the other records from this guys collection (which I will be listing shortly) the opening edges have been protected with clear tape (please see close-up photos) which means they are also crisp and sharp
