“A cult classic reborn - New reimagined version to be premiered at The Official Freddie Mercury Birthday Party in Montreux on September 8th.
The Pirate Swing Band, a 17 piece big band from the Czech Republic, have prepared a brand new musical arrangement of "Man From Manhattan” using only the vocals and guitar tracks from the original 1976 recording.“
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

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

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.

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.
