This week in 1986, "Criminal Tango" (MMEB's 13th album) was released in the UK.
The album title was taken from a short German animated film released in 1985 by Solweig von Kleist (which can be viewed on YouTube). However, the artwork on the cover does not relate to the cartoon. This was the first Earth Band album to be released in the then-new CD format.

This one was never released in the US AFAIK. It was many, many years layer until I even knew it existed. Glad I eventually got the album.

You have a lot of fans across the pond in the USA!
On this day in 1978, the 'Watch' album was released in US.
Just weeks after their British tour Manfred announced that three members of the band — guitarist Dave Flett, drummer Chris Slade and bassist Pat King — would be leaving the band. All touring plans, including a proposed tour of America where Manfred’s last album ‘The Roaring Silence’ sold over a million copies, were cancelled.

Great band sadly underrated by pundits
Chris Thompson brilliant vocals on a great album
But Pat King (R.I.P.) stayed a few years more as the bassman and later as the Man for the Lights and also as driver and of course photographer.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from Manfred and The Earth Band. 🎅🎄
