Omschrijving
Live at the Padget Rooms, Penarth was the sixth album by Man, released in September 1972. It was the
band’s second live album, both performed by this four-piece line-up, although the line up had
substantially changed before this album was released, as was acknowledged on the original LP sleeve.
The idea for a live album came from Andrew Lauder, United Artists’ A&R manager, following the success
of Man’s contributions to the Greasy Truckers Party benefit album, recorded at the Roundhouse in
February 1972. It was agreed to record the album on “home territory” in South Wales at the Paget
Rooms, Penarth, a seaside resort at the south end of Cardiff Bay.[4] The title was considered an oddity
in Penarth at the time, because of the misspelling of Paget Rooms in the album's title, as can be seen in
the photo of the venue in the CD re-release. The front cover states “Special Limited Edition For Man
Fans” and only 8000 copies were pressed. These were sold at a budget-price and sold out within a week,
so it entered the UK mid-priced LP chart at number one, and the next week had totally disappeared.
2007 CD Re-Release. This was re-mixed from the original 8 track master tapes and restores the original
running order.
