bkeske Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 (edited) Not sure why it took me so long to get some Manassas into my collection. Really great stuff. Have another coming. This, a 2LP set released in 1972 Edited May 25, 2022 by bkeske 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Edwards Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Though I just can't narrow it down to one, Manassas is definitely one of my stranded on an island record. Not an audiophile recording, but the blend of instruments, the level of musicianship and the lyrics (though sometimes not easy to understand - hence, read along) make for me, a reference go to. I picked up the Classic Records reissue from a few years back and it is tighter, more defined (particularly in the bass) and a quieter pressing than my original. A little footnote: Johnny's Garden is about an estate in England and the gardener who maintained the grounds. Ringo Starr bought it from Peter Sellers and Stills bought it from Ringo. Great discovery Brian Play on 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmz Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Maybe a better system will snap Fuzzy into focus? 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkeske Posted May 31, 2022 Author Share Posted May 31, 2022 My second Manassas LP arrived today, also in great shape. Will be spinning it soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Edwards Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 It didn't receive the accolades that the debut did; but, IMHO, a fun listen as well, particularly Pensamiento Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting how much Santana had become an influence as well. Great to have both of these in the collection Edited June 1, 2022 by bkeske 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
