Manfred Mann: Mighty Garvey! (Fontana TL5170)
Lon Goddard, Record Mirror, 20 July 1968
MANFRED MANN'S new album Mighty Garvey! introduces a new character in the form of various styles. Garvey is a multiple combination at every outstanding type of music from the beginning of elementary beat. You remember Bill Garvey and his Comics of rock fame and jazz man Ornette Garvey, plus countless Garveys who originated various trends which were inevitably borrowed by groups or individuals with similar sounding names and carried on to vast popular scales, leaving the Mighty Garvey, in the background. Now at last, with the kind help of the Manfreds, a light is shed on these generations of misplaced geniuses.
