| | Okay, this as best I can figure it. The Australian Axis issue is AXIS-6087, which is just 31 issues on from the Motown compilation, "It's Summer" which was AXIS-6056, which would put the Aussie issue of this Manfred Mann LP as late 1971. Record Collector saw this album issued on Columbia(rather that HMV as would've been the case with Manfred Mann), that issue may well have been out in 1970, using the then-new label design for Columbia, HMV, Parlophone and Stateside labels. EMI would've issued this LP in Britain about the same time, 1970, but more likely on HMV, as opposed to EMI Australia's decision to issue on Columbia.
The artwork for both British and Australian covers would've been what we have here, though the back cover may have varied, and the trademarks also varying. The British MFP issue, coming out in 1972, as it did, would've been a decision of EMI UK who had other more urgent LPs to put out before they re-issued "Manfred Mann - The Greatest". Anyway, that's my guess. |

| | I recently came across an American-issue United Artists release of them covering "When Will I Be Loved"(Cat.# UA-50,066) and coupled with "Do You Have To Do That", penned by lead vocalist, Paul Jones. Watch for it over on the 45cat. site soon. |

| | Manfred Mann has had at least three incarnations(maybe a couple more) but as Manfred Mann(with Paul Jones on HMV), Manfred Mann(without Paul Jones on Fontana in UK, Philips from 1966 to 1969, then Fontana from 1969 in Australia) then a long gap until they re-emerged as Manfred Mann's Earth Band on the Bronze label in 1976. An unsuccessful re-mergence or two between 1969 and 1976 also somewhere in that mix but it's their HMV, Fontana and "Bronze age"(Palaeontologic pun there!) that are best remembered. |

| | RC, Manfred Mann on Polygram = Philips & Fontana issues from 1966 to about 1969 or 1970, and without Paul Jones on lead vocal. When the "Manfred" left EMI in 1966, jones stayed behind and recorded first on HMV, then on Columbia. And you're spotting of this album on Columbia is strange, to say the least, as all Manfred Mann singles and EPs were on HMV. but, to quote Tom Jones, "it's not unusual" in another sense as, in Australia, Little Pattie's EPs and singles were on HMV with some of her albums on Columbia. |

| | Actually, the comment I made(on the day of my 60th birthday, as it happened) would be wrong. The Axis issue would've been after the British MFP issue, but the year would be 1971 at least. And RC, I don't think you'd get this one on CD, somehow, but.... who knows? You might be lucky...! |

| | This is the same as the Axis Australian issue, about the same time. The Aussie number was AXIS-6087. The Axis issue, based on the number, might've been earlier(guessing), perhaps, 1971, which might mean the Brit. issue came later, but, as I said, I'm just guessing. |
