Manfred Mann's Earth Band | 40th Anniversary Box Set (21 Cd Box) | CD

Manfred Mann's Earth Band is a rock band formed in 1971 by the keyboardist Manfred Mann, who was born in South Africa and had earlier been in the 1960s pop group that bore his name. Mann's use of the Moog synthesizer was key to the band's sound. The band had a successful period in the mid 1970s and early 1980s, was disbanded by Mann in 1987, and was reformed by him in 1991, after which it became a regular live band with extensive tours mostly in Europe.

This is a box set of 21 CDs by Manfred Mann's Earth Band, released on 5 December 2011 by Creature Music. It contains the band's studio albums, two live albums and Leftovers, a compilation of previously unavailable recordings. The catalogue albums were remastered. The producers credited are Dave Hadfield, David Mackay and Manfred Mann, with Manfred Mann also credited on keyboards and vocals and Mick Rogers on vocals and guitar.
