Overview

Man (also known as The Manband) are a rock band from Wales. Formed in November 1968 as a reincarnation of the Welsh vocal group the Bystanders, Man are renowned for the extended jams during their live performances. The Bystanders Man evolved out of the Bystanders, a successful close harmony pop group from Merthyr Tydfil who played in numerous club residencies in Wales, often playing at several clubs a night. The Bystanders issued eight singles, including "98.6" (No. 45 in UK Singles Chart in February 1967) which was played in the 2009 film The Boat That Rocked (although Keith's version was the bigger hit, reaching No. 24 in the UK) and "When Jesamine Goes", written by their manager Ronnie Scott and Marty Wilde under the pseudonyms of Frere Manston and Jack Gellar, which was later covered by the Casuals as "Jesamine" and got to No. 2 on the UK chart. They also recorded sessions of cover versions for the BBC as rules restricting needle time required "live" performances between the records during the 1960s; becoming regulars on the Jimmy Young Show, the David Symonds Show and others. When formed in 1962, the Bystanders included Owen Money, then known as Gerry Braden, but he was replaced by Vic Oakley, giving the classic line-up of Vic Oakley (vocals), Micky Jones (guitar), Clive John aka Clint Space (keyboards), Ray Williams (bass guitar) and Jeff Jones (drums). By 1968, the other members wanted to change musical direction to a more psychedelic/American west-coast guitar sound, so Oakley left, to be replaced by Deke Leonard, and the band changed its name to Man. Pye years Man was initially signed to Pye Records, for which it recorded its first two albums with John Schroeder producing Revelation (January 1969) noted for the simulated orgasm on "Erotica", which received a UK ban, and 2 Ozs of Plastic with a Hole in the Middle (September 1969). While mixing the second album, Leonard left and was replaced by Martin Ace from Leonard's previous band, Dream. At this time, Man was recording three demo sessions a week for Leeds Music, including "Down the Dustpipe" which was taught to Status Quo.

Notable quotes

“La prima volta che vado a letto con un uomo succede quasi sempre che non si fa niente. Si preoccupano, si agitano, credono di dover fare i fenomeni. Pensano "Oddio, lo sto facendo con l'Arcuri", e non si conclude. Ormai lo so, sono rassegnata. Per questo concedo sempre una seconda chance.”
— The first time I go to bed with a man, most of the time nothing happens. They worry, they get agitated, they think they have to excel. They think, "Oh my God, I'm doing it with Arcuri", and then it's a total flop. Now that I know, I've resigned myself to the fact. This is why I always grant them a second chance.
“But man is not made for defeat. A man can be destroyed but not defeated.”
— Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961) The Old Man and the Sea (1952), p. 113
“I have thought some of Nature's journeymen had made men and not made them well, they imitated humanity so abominably.”
— William Shakespeare, Hamlet (1600-02), Act III, scene 2, line 37
“The only competition worthy a wise man is with himself.”
— Anna Brownell Jameson, Memoirs and Essays, Washington Allston
“Der edle Mensch ist nur ein Bild von Gott.”
— The noble man is only God's image.
“Every man will be a poet if he can; otherwise a philosopher or man of science. This proves the superiority of the poet.”
