Title: Ill Mannered
Product review: There is little doubt that Manfred Mann's various incarnations deserve a book. There is also little doubt that it could be a good book. This, however, is not it. It is little more than an annotated discography, and as such is good. As a biography, history of the band it is of little use. It quickly becomes little more than a list of records, dates and chart placing. I saw Manfred Mann in Australia in the early 60s and they were sensational live. No mention of this tour in the book. In fact the Paul Jones era is over by page 39! apart from discographies.Until someone comes along who can write well, research more than record listings and put it all together, we are still waiting for a biography of Manfred Mann.
