This week in 1981: "Lies (Through The 80’s)" was released in the US - almost 10 months after it had been released as a single in the UK. There had been only 3 months between the release dates for Chance (Oct 1980 in the UK, January 1981 in the US) but "Lies" had preceded the release of 'Chance' in the UK by quite a margin.

Love this song. I first heard it when I was very young on a Ronco Records album called Radio Active and played this track to death!
A new book about Manfred Mann`s Earth Band in the 1970s, by John van der Kiste, gets a review by Tom Povey this month in RnR Magazine (Issue 99, May/June 2023). The magazine is out now.

It's an excellent little book, well worth the read.
Great reading
Just ordered
Bought it..not read it yet.. Small one. No photos. But read able though I guess.
Any well researched literature on the band is welcome. Many years ago I met a lovely woman named Mrs Budd who claimed Manfred lodged with her when he was a student.Which in retrospect seems a bit random to me.
I´ve read the book. It was a pleasant and interesting reading. About 140 pages full of details, which is perfect for me (yes, I´m a MMEB nerd 😊). And some interesting facts and details new to me. The book presents the MMEB history chronologically, year by year and album by album. Every track is discussed and analysed, and there´s a lot of interviews with Manfred and other band members (from papers), and reviews from music journalists over the years. The book starts with an introduction, followed by some pages about the 1960s. Then Chapter Three to Earth Band, and the MMEB years 1971 to 1979. Finally, there is postscript about the band and their members 1980-2020. So, if you are a fan, I´m sure you will enjoy the book.
Not definitive though
Not too much in that review about the book! Maybe that says something …
74’, awesome night!
This week in 1972, "I'm Up And I'm Leaving" was released as a single in US. The b-side was "Part Time Man" - both tracks come from Manfred Mann's Earth Band's eponymous debut album.

This is an awesome song, well ahead of it's time... 👍🏼
Great song
Back when they still cared about the US market.
German Music Magazine GoodTimes has a monthly voting about which album released 50 years ago is their reader’s favorite. Guess which one it was this month? m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=730728348960264&id=100060693174083
