Soul of Mann

Soul of Mann is a 1967 compilation album of mostly instrumental recordings by Manfred Mann, released by HMV Records shortly after the company dropped the group from its roster. It was not well publicised and did not sell strongly.

The album brought together;
 * Both sides of the group's debut single, "Why Should We Not" and "Brother Jack" (1963)
 * "Sack O' Woe" (Cannonball Adderley) and "Mr.Anello", released on the group's first album The Five Faces of Manfred Mann (1964)
 * "Bare Hugg", "The Abominable Snowmann" and "L.S.D.", from the group's second album Mann Made (1965)
 * "Still I'm Sad" (Samwell-Smith), "My Generation" (Townshend), "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" (Jagger-Richards) and "I Got You Babe" (Bono) from the 1966 EP Instrumental Asylum, with Jack Bruce, Henry Lowther and Lyn Dobson
 * "Spirit Feel" (Milt Jackson), previously released on the compilation Mann Made Hits, and two previously unreleased recordings, "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" and "Tengo Tango".

CD releases contain extra tracks, mostly with vocals and from the group's series of HMV EPs.
