ALBUM NOTES
1975 - Nightingales And Bombers
Re-Mastered 1999 (2 Bonus Tracks) Mann 008
 |
Includes a famous recording from World War 2 of nightingales singing as bombers pass overhead. This was to be the last album by the first line-up, although one of the high points was the interplay between Manfred on keyboards and Mick's guitar. It also contained the first Springsteen cover, "Spirits In The Night". | |

The title of this album was inspired by a recording
made in Surrey, England during the Second World
War, by an ornithologist intending to record
Nightingales.
The bombers flew over at the same time and were
recorded by accident. The recording has been
incorporated in 'As Above, So Below'.
