A magnificent rendering of Man's 1972 Christmas party staged at Swansea's Patti Pavilion, Christmas at the Patti was released as a limited-edition double-10" vinyl package, its gatefold packed with party pics and its grooves bristling with some remarkable music. No simple Man gig this -- no less than the mighty underground gatherings convened at such legendary London holes as Dingwalls and the Roundhouse, Christmas at the Patti was to be a celebration of southern Welsh rock in as many guises as they could fit in. But, whereas the result is usually filed alongside those other live remembrances of early-'70s British rock Glastonbury Fayre and Greasy Truckers, the reality is far more cohesive and, ultimately, far more enjoyable. The Jets and Plum Crazy, long dead heroes of the local scene, both re-formed for the evening, turning in singalong sets as joyous and relaxed as any music their main members went on to create -- Man men Deke Leonard and Martin Ace were members of the Jets, but you've probably never heard them play "Jambalaya" before; the great Dave Edmunds guests with Plum Crazy, and lets rip with a signature slam through "Run, Run, Rudolph."

Help Yourself, longtime friends of the headliners, also boast a couple of guests -- Leonard again plus pedal steel whiz B.J. Cole. Two lengthy tracks, a hypnotic "Mona" and their own marathon "Eddie Waring," are preserved here, and bear gripping testament to the band's own magnificent powers of improvisation, too seldom heard on its regular albums but looming larger than life in concert. Ducks Deluxe, newcomers to the scene in 1972, make their recorded debut by turning in a growling "Boogaloo Babe," while another previously unheard band, Martin Ace's the Flying Aces, are introduced via their first ever show; they open the album with the absolutely fitting "Welcome to the Party," although at the show itself the Flying Aces were the next-to-last band of the evening -- the last, of course, being Man itself. Joined by vocalist Stan Phifer and a returning Dave Edmunds, the group turns in just two songs, "Life on the Road" and "Shuffle," but both rank high in any pantheon of all-time great Man performances.

---------------------------------------------------

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT COMBINED SHIPPING ON ALL 12" VINYL / LPS / 12" EPS / 12" SINGLES - PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY!!!!

We offer combined shipping on all LPs / 12" Vinyls: our shipping rates are listed above. HOWEVER shipping packages that weigh more than 2kg is VERY expensive. Therefore we can only offer combined shipping up to a maximum of SIX (6) LPs / 12" vinyls. Any extra purchases will be invoiced, packaged and shipped separately.

***Due to the physical logistics of how I can package orders, I will not combine box sets with other items, I will only package them individually***

---------------------------------------------------

COMBINED POSTAGE FOR DIFFERENT FORMATS will be invoiced at my discretion:

While I am happy to combine (for example) one or two 7” singles into one package with 12” records, sometimes it simply isn’t practical (like if you want me to combine one 12” record with three or more 7” records). I simply do not think that these combinations can be packaged together safely and securely. Therefore these will be invoiced separately as two packages.

IF YOU ARE UNSURE, please contact me before bidding!

---------------------------------------------------

Sorry but I am no longer willing to carry combined transactions beyond two weeks of auctions (see below).

---------------------------------------------------

PAYMENT

I would appreciate payment within seven days of the auction’s end. If you want to bid on more of my auctions ending a week later please inform me. I will wait and issue a combined invoice at the close of the second week’s auctions.

However, I am no longer willing to carry combined transactions beyond two weeks and in these cases would appreciate payment promptly after the close of the second week’s auctions.

I am sorry to have to introduce these measures – I always try to be patient and allow buyers to bid on extra auctions and / or delay payment. Unfortunately some buyers have been stretching out transactions to unacceptable lengths so I feel I have no option but to limit ‘carried over’ transactions to two weeks.
