MAN Introspective [released 20th July 2009]
DVD: http://991.com/Buy/ProductInformation.aspx?StockNumber=472214
The Man band first came together as the Bystanders in 1964. The band were one of many pop bands in the sixties that were trying to climb the ladder of success and managed to release many singles during the period between 1964 and 1968. The band became Man when Deke Leonard from another Welsh band The Dream joined and the band signed to Pye records. The music that the Man band performed however was very much removed from the pop sensibilities of The Bystanders and more in keeping with the West Coast sound of American bands such as The Quicksilver Messenger Service. The band would record two albums for Pye (Revelation and 2ozs Of Plastic With A Hole In The Middle) before leaving the label to sign with the more progressively minded Liberty records in 1970 and were to remain with the label until 1976 when they signed with MCA. Following the deal with MCA the band released just one more studio album (The Welsh Connection) before announcing their decision to call it a day following one more tour that would be recorded and finally be released as All's Well That Ends Well. The band re formed in 1983 and have been a going concern since then regularly releasing albums and performing concerts. * This Introspective DVD release tells the story of Man by those that know the story best of all...The band. * The DVD features key interviews with Deke Leonard and Martin Ace and also later members such as George Jones. * Also includes exclusive live performances from the band including material from the album Diamonds and Coal
