For years I carried a fuzzy childhood memory of seeing a promotional film on TV (presumably on American Bandstand, though I didn't normally watch it, I watched cartoons) for "My Name is Jack," with a band member (Manfred?) sitting with a host (Dick Clark?) and introducing the film. All I really remembered was the words "My name is Jack and I live in the back of the Greta Garbo home," with mental images of the film and of the two men sitting in the studio. Eventually I learned who did it and then later found the record, which happily matched my memory. I think I'll go listen to it now, and the b-side as well. I don't know where else you can find "There is a Man."

I don't think I've seen this on cd. The original single used to be pretty common in the cut out bins, with pic sleeve! There are a few other good B sides that aren't on album like I Want To Be Rich. I've always rated Manfred pretty high. This sort of surprised old Manfred when I interviewed him back in the mid 70's. He was out with the prog like Earthband. I just played Each And Everyday Another Hair Turns Gray from Mighty Garvey on my show last week. I have a couple of old Fontana/Mercury era comps, I want to say they were called What A Man and This Is. They gather up some loose ends from eps and singles.

The file is a thirteen minute extract >from the show broadcast by WLIR. A vintage performance by the band and up >there with the "Let's Have A Party" album. I'd love to hear it. I may have been at this show. Say, Blair or anyone else who may remember, was this event hosted by a Long Island radio station that staged a somewhat embarrassing "Beach Party" costume or dance segment between bands? Or was that ANOTHER Lyres Irving Plaza appearance?

It came out in '97 so I don't know if it's still available, if you have to special order it at your fave record shop. - ----- Original Message ----- From: Joey Beretta To: Sent: Tuesday, January 23, 2001 1:56 PM Subject: Re: Manfred Mann > > > Sigh, there is one Manfred Mann B-side that I have yet to find on any > > compilation. > > I don't remember the A-side, but the song I'd really love to find is > called > > "There > > Is A Man."

Well of course there's The Barbarians of "Moulty" and "Are You a Boy or Are You a Girl" fame... I really thought Def Leppard TOTALLY missed the boat by not covering "Moulty."
