Esoteric Recordings are pleased to announce the release of Man’s classic 1976 album
“Welsh Connection”. Recorded in 1976 following Man’s departure from United
Artists records, the album saw a new line-up of the band featuring Micky Jones
(Guitar / Vocals), Deke Leonard (Guitar, Vocals), Phil Ryan (Keyboards /
Vocals), John McKenzie (Bass) and Terry Williams (Drums). Featuring tracks such
as ‘The Ride and the View’, ‘Out of Your Head’, ‘Something is Happening’ and
‘Born With a Future’, the record reached the UK Top 40 and was to be Man’s laststudio album of the 1970s.

This Esoteric Recordings edition has been newly remastered from the original master
tapes and features the bonus track “I’m a Love taker”, along with the entire
recording of Man’s concert at The Keystone, Berkeley, California on 9th
