Radio Days Vol 3 – Manfred Mann Chapter Three

“Radio Days & Rarities” is the third volume in the series of Manfred Mann BBC recordings highlighting the radio appearances of Manfred Mann Chapter Three and numerous film soundtrack recordings, commercial jingles and various studio rarities. When pop group Manfred Mann broke up while near the top of the UK charts, Manfred Mann and Mike Hugg were quietly assembling Manfred Mann Chapter Three – a free-form group aimed at the growing album market. In addition to Mann and Hugg, the core of Chapter Three included sax/flute player Bernie Living, bassist Steve York, and drummer Craig Collinge. BBC legend Brian Matthew guided fans through this period by interviewing Mann and Hugg and presenting fresh versions of three tracks “Sometimes,” “Time” and “One Way Glass” (which would later be sampled by The Prodigy and Public Enemy). Also featured on this volume are unique items from Australian and Swedish radio as well as early versions of “Konekuf” and “Time” from Chapter Three’s debut album, and three tracks from an unissued third album. Some of the Mann-Hugg film work debuting here includes the entire “Venus In Furs” soundtrack, The Radio Days series is being released under the “Artist Approved” banner, newly remastered and issued with the full approval of the featured artists.  2xCD set. 3xLP set.
