I love David Brent's music. He's a brilliant musician.

i heard this on the telly by the stereophonics and i just knew that they never did originally as no good music has ever been released after the 90`s

CLASSIC SONG BY MIKE - D - ABO. TOOK HIM 30 YEARS TO PUT IT OUT HIMSELF,

[45rpmSINGLES]

@ispygb It was on his 1970 solo album `d`Abo` *( on youtube ) so I`m not sure where you got that "30 years to put it out himself" story from !

[Johnnywasherefirst]

@MoFoPower I know thats real :)

This is actually music with meaning.

u say it wasn't manfred mann but im guessing that he didnt play all the instruments himself. he surely had some sort of band behind him, presumably....manfred mann...

[leonaofficial]

@thespecialk1690 Manfred Mann never recorded Handbags and gladrags. Mike D`abo`s first recording of the song appears on his solo album from 1970 "d`abo" although he had earlier produced a version of the song for Chris Farlowe and he had also arranged the version for Rod Stewart .

Yes he did use musicians for his solo recordings but not Manferd Mann as you wrong suggest.

marvelous

[45rpmSINGLES]

Manfred Mann never recorded Handbags & Gladrags . This is a solo recording by Mike D`Abo although it`s on a few Manfred Mann greatest hits cds.

His website lists all of his recordings with Manfred Mann and this song isnt one of them . Mike`s first recorded version of Handbags was on his solo album " d`abo" released July 1970 . Manfred had split in May 1969.

@45rpmSINGLES Who cares? It is still a brilliant song and Mike a lovely bloke.

[45rpmSINGLES]

@hopethehermit correcting the wrongly titled artist and just trying to be helpful , unlike your snide comment.

[hopethehermit]

@45rpmSINGLES It wasn't meant as a snide comment: I'm a geat believer in the saying "if you have nothing good to say then say nothing". My comment was meant entirely positively.

[45rpmSINGLES]

@hopethehermit I too am a geat believer in the saying "sometimes I need what only you can provide: your absence" lol

The Manfred Mann group played this live, never recorded it however. I have a tape of the group playing this on a BBC Radio show from the late 1960's..This is certainly NOT the same recording.
