- Manfred Mann - Handbags And Gladrags. Manfred Mann is: Manfred Mann:Keyboards, mini moog. Tom McGuiness: Guitar, Bass, Mike Hugg: Drums, Keyboards, Vibes, Mike d'Abo: Vocal, Keyboards.
I heard him sing this live yesterday in a 60s show in Clacton. He was and is phenomenal. I’d say better with age.
Just to say the only version of this song recorded by Manfred Mann was for Radio 1 in late 1968, as released in 2019 on 'Radio Days Volume 2'. This version is Mike D'Abo solo, from many years later. He first recorded it for his 1970 solo album d'Abo, where it rounded off side two.
Wasent know about that is this real varsion
I mean is this orignel varsion
If not suggest me orignel one
this version needs to make it to todays generation. this is the big deal, the real deal. stop buying crap. read, write, be musical, sing, satisfy yourself without paying someone. get it, handbags won't make you.
love this song in many versions, but this one is superior in my opinion
bugger me i always thought rod stew wrote this n let stereophonics give it the razzle it so deserves but i love this original got heart in it
Hi would love to know what you think of my 17 year old grandsons cover of this ua-cam.com/video/T7Emz268Dio/v-deo.html
@@SimonTeare yes
Punctuation,punctuation,punctuation!
Lovely song. Written by Mike and saw Chris Farlowe sing this on a tour with The Manfred's a few years ago. Man, that brought a tear to the eye, as Mr Farlowe is one of our greatest r'n'b and soul singers.
Just discovered this tonight. I know Rod Stewart, Chase and Stereophonics all did a cover. Never knew Mannfred Mann did the original.
This couls easily play today. It ages well. ❤️
The guy who wrote it joined the band on.piano.
Checkout Chris Farlowe's cover.
HAPPY LISTENING!
probably one of the most famous songs today thanks to Stereophonics and The Office tv programme. And yet nobody probably knows these guys wrote it and sang it first
CLASSIC SONG BY MIKE - D - ABO. TOOK HIM 30 YEARS TO PUT IT OUT HIMSELF,
marvelous
Mike D 'Abo also made a fine album with Mike Smith (of the Dave Clark five) in 1976. Well worth a listen :-) itunes.apple.com/us/album/smith-dabo/id424050124 . . . RIP Mike Smith :-)
Diggin it, real velvety
It was written by Mike D'Abo - the bloke that's singing it.
Mike D'Abo also plays piano on the Rod Stewart version released 2 years later in '69... Good song, but Rod's Voice made it great. ua-cam.com/video/iqgAZhXpHV0/v-deo.html
@@vincecaruso6465 Disagree completely. This is the only version where the vocals and instrumentation does justice to the subject matter. Rod Stewart is too much in love with his own voice.
Mike D'Abo also wrote the finger of fudge jingle. Bit of useless info for you.
:D
I don't know why, but that info made my day
A little piece of my childhood.
@ A little piece made of fudge, and covered in chocolate?

If you like Mike D'Abo, he was one in a band called A Band Of Angels! I bought the single "Me/Not True As Yet,", as a youngster. Great song, maybe before it's time in a way, but prefer Chris Farlowe's version!
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.
If you listen to the Mike D Abo version from 1970 it's completely different to this.
Actually...it does exist...but this isn't it. The ACTUAL Manfred Mann version is on the bbc concerts...they did it live with the extemely short-lived Manfred Mann Chapter II (You all know Chapter III...didn't you ever wonder what happened to Chapter II?) chapter II performed this at BBC...so it is technichally a Manfred Mann song as much as Ha Ha said the clown. Here it is...ua-cam.com/video/NPPUYOCfDl8/v-deo.html
@hopethehermit I too am a geat believer in the saying "sometimes I need what only you can provide: your absence" lol
Original and best, Prefer this every time as its raw, they just cut the track and he sang like no ever version ever has done.
This isn't original recorded version
Ok, what is?
Chris Farlowe in the 60's who this song was written for. This was recorded in the 70's by the writer and his band :)
TheMacGuy wasn't written for farlowe. It was already wrote and farlowe and rod both wanted it. Mike gave farlowe the song as he asked for it first. Rod then said he was coming back for it when he signed his first record deal.
I wonder if this song was ever on the soundtrack of 'The Wonder Years'?
I have heard it as the theme song for the British version of The Office.
DAN: Well, Mike d'Abo was Olvia d'Abo's father, and he composed this song....
Thanks...
@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 !
@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.
I had no idea that they did aversion of this song. I knew that it was done by many before Rod Stewart, but no idea Manfred Mann was one of them.
The lead singer of Manfred Man wrote it.
I know Mike and can confirm that he did indeed write it… for Chris Farlow.
My favorite version including the original is the version covered by Rod Stewart.
Procal hare.
@45rpmSINGLES Who cares? It is still a brilliant song and Mike a lovely bloke.
Why on earth didn't blood sweat and tears cover this? It's perfect for DCT.
He certainly would've had the voice for this, wouldn't he! Chris Farlowe did a good job of it, not dissimilar to what David Clayton Thomas might've done.
Listen to the version by a group called chase. They have horns in the band similar to blood sweat and tears
This is a beautiful rendition of this song. Who wrote it? The only classic version I knew of...was Rod Stewart. Glad I found this version...
Stereophonics version is the best
The lead singer of MM wrote it and this is the original
@@stevens5541 sorry but the Rod and Chris Farlowe versions are superior.
Try big George. Soul full no nonsense drum beat. Excellent. Really many of the versions singers soybd very similar.
I agree, like George version, and find stereo George and rod very similar
Let's put it this way, some people's makes a joy, Rod turned it to a brilliant.
no way.. stewart copies everyones stuff. It's Mike's song and he sings it beauitfully!
@@jonpartyka9541 is understandable the people have a different taste for music, i do respect yours, by the way! i love gladys Knight interpretation. Peace!
would have been a huge hit for manfred mann in the late 1960`s......they were too careful to release acceptable pop papp back then..witness the ghastly Ha Ha Said the Clown. At least decent music like A B side, Up the Junction, One Way, Big Betty showed the better side of a very musical group. Of course, they were a jazz/r`n `b combo in the early 1960`s and went through progressive modern music and then heavy rock into the 1970`s and 1980`s....up to the present day...and different names.
the best recordings of manfred mann from 1964-66 are on BBC live radio top of the pops...the whole list of the tracks and the music is on youtube...everything is there including some interviews..especially interesting is the period before the 1966 combination ended and a performance of spirit feel is fabulous jazz with jack bruce lyn dobson henry lowther all contributing...paul jones has never sounded better on these live tracks....
the best collection of the mike d `abo period 1966-69 is what a mann, also with track listing, under show more and all on youtube too...all the best songs are there......an album called mighty garvey (also on youtube) has big betty which would have been a great single and mike d `abo sounding like paul jones.
that covers manfred mann from 1964-69.
look for what a mann....not what a man! also the ` up the junction`album..
Does anyone know if I can get this exact version as a 45 single
It was never released as a single unfortunately - weirdly, while Manfred Mann were having constant hits with other people's songs, their vocalist (Mike d'Abo) was writing songs of this quality which they (or more likely their record label!) never thought suitable for release. Thankfully, I imagine he has made a few quid from the many cover versions over the years - especially from the ghastly Stereophonics version.
@hopethehermit correcting the wrongly titled artist and just trying to be helpful , unlike your snide comment.
much prefer “handbags and the gladrags that your poor old grandad had to sweat to buy ya ---- much better. it flows, the original struggles.
Rod Stewart !
