This sounds pretty interesting, I’m curious to hear how it sounds...

So. ....now this LARGELY UNHEARD song (*in relation to the band) is NOW a "CULT CLASSIC"????!
wow.

Anyways, I'll buy it though. Mike Moran's involvement seals the deal

.....IF it's reasonably priced*


$30 i will NOT pay

$4 yes. $7 total with s/h? ....ehhh....maybe

"A cult classic"?? Up there with Attack of the Lobstermen from Mars. Can't wait.

I'm not expecting much having previewed this ... http://www.jirisevcik.com/we-will-swing-you/

And ... I just found this: https://soundcloud.com/jiri-sevcik-1/sets/man-from-manhattan-2018

I bought MFM on cd in the mid-nineties. I haven't heard it for years but it still makes me cringe.

So this is what we will get this year.....

This popped up on my YouTube a while ago. It's just Mike Moran marketing this project. No music, just talk, so I ddin't bother sharing here. But FYI in case anyone wants to hear it. It's a fundraiser for MPT.

I'm more familiar with Valencia's version. I quite like that one.

It is pity that there is no exist this song with Freddie vocal not Eddie

What exactly is 'Man From Manhatten'? I have never really bothered to try and find out?

He's a man. From Manhattan. Unless you're in that neck of the woods, you probably won't find him - so I wouldn't bother worrying too much about it.

I looked it up. In The Netherlands the single made the top 10 in the summer of 1976. You're My Best Friend was in the charts at the same time. Eddie's single made #6 while Queen's single went to #9.
