Classic Masters is a series of official singles released by Capitol Records. These 12 cuts come from the earliest Brit-beat period of Manfred Mann -- before they became Manfred Mann's Earth Band -- so one won't find "Blinded by the Light" here, but "Do Wah Diddy" and the raver "5-4-3-2-1" are, along with Bob Dylan's "If You Gotta Go, Go Now" and Gerry Goffin's "Oh No, Not My Baby." These songs have aged surprisingly well over the decades -- over four of them now -- and the sound is cleaned up extraordinarily.

This group had two distinct periods of success, the first in the mid-sixties as part of the British Invasion, the latter in the 70s, after the departure of lead singer John Paul Jones - that period produced the AOR regular "Blinded By the Light".But I only liked the earlier stuff me...
