THE GOOD EARTH

This is a perfect prog album from MMEB.Manfred Mann made quite a bit of publicity when selling this album assuring purchasers of the LP a tiny bit of land from a small remote piece of Welsh hillside. 'Give me the Good Earth' has all the trappings of creative, keyboard laden tracks with the very essential conceptual base to build from.From ' Earth Hymns ( Both parts) to the title track and the wonderful ' Be not too hard' Manfred Mann delivers a beautiful concept album withan equally strong ' Green' message. I recently acquired the CD version and I have to say it was well worth the wait.
