The 1983 Listening Post - Manfred Mann's Earth Band - Somewhere in Afrika

Manfred Mann's Earth Band - Somewhere in Afrika


The other harbinger of "Graceland". Since I only knew Manfred Mann from his Springsteen covers and I was a bit of a Bruce snob I didn't have the time of day for him and his Earth Band. Watch was Terrible but Angel Station was really good. And Chance was just okay.
This was much better than I had expected it to be but not as good as I would want it to be.
Biggest surprise is that the opening tack is written by Andy Qunta who would go on to marry a friend of mine that I knew from the old Queen Prodigy pages.
