Mansun were an excellent band who formed around the Britpop era and I guess could be lumped in with Britpop but their music is often less accessible (a 9-minute song called Cancer, anyone?). They got a hell of a lot of stick from the music press; in fact the liner notes for their best-of compilation show a load of negative comments from journalists next to each song. However, I think they were a great band with some excellent songs, many of which are on this bootleg. Their sound could probably be described as somewher between Suede, the Manics and Oasis. This is made up of various radio sessions and a few live recordings, and as a result the sound is of varying quality, but is mostly good. Both well known songs and rare B-sides are included on here, making it a worthwile collection for any Mansun fan. Highlights include Stripper Vicar (faster verison than found on record), Take It Easy Chicken and Wide Open Space. I yet again made this artwork; quite happy with it and proud to report I've never posted anything on here without arrtwork, long may it continue! This is obviously not recommended for those who don't really know the band; allow me to point you in the direction of the Legacy best-of and Attack Of The Grey Lanterns LP. However, those who do should find plenty to enjoy. Link and artwork are my own.
