GARY WRIGHT (new release 1/30) "Dream Weaver & Other Hits"

Heartbeat

MANFRED MANN (new release 2/6) "Watch"
It's difficult to imagine a solid follow-up to a platinum plus recording like The Roaring Silence, but in 1978, Manfred Mann's Earth Band delivered a very consistent and enjoyable effort known simply as Watch. With the same line-up from the previous stellar effort, Mann delivered one of their most important efforts which yielded an international hit with Robbie Robertson's "Davy's On The Road Again." Tracks: 1. Circles 2. Drowing On Dry Land/Fish Soup 3. Chicago Institute4. California 5. Davy's On The Road Again 6. Martha's Madmen7. Mighty Quinn. Bonus Tracks: 1. California ( single edit) 2.Davy’s On The Road Again ( single edit) 3. Bouillabaisse ( single edit) 4. Mighty Quinn ( single edit).

MANFRED MANN (new release 2/6)"Chance"
Manfred Mann's Earth Band glided quite easily into the record charts and radio playlists with a very fine offering in 1980 with Chance. Produced by Manfred and his associate producer Trevor Rabin, Chance highlighted the fantastic vocals of Chris Thompson with the solid return of Mick Rodgers on guitar and new drummer Pat King. In addition to these musicians, Trevor Rabin, Robbie McIntosh (Pretenders, Paul McCartney) and Geoff Whitehorn (Procol Harum) all added their artistry. Manfred Mann himself wrote five of the nine songs on this project and made sure he nodded once again to his good friend Bruce Springsteen with a hit interpretation of "For You." Also charting was the song "Lies". Tracks: 1. Lies 2. On The Run 3. For You 4. Adolescent Dream 5. Fritz the Blank 6. Stranded 7. Hello I Am Your Heart 8. No Guarantee 9. Heart On The Street. Bonus Tracks: 1. A Fool I Am (b-side) 2. Adolescent Dream (single Version) 3. Lies (single version) 4. For You (single Version).
