1976 and 1977 were two pivotal years in the history of Manfred Mann's Earth Band. During the middle of an extraordinarily successful run of five albums, the band underwent several line-up changes while continuing to build a devoted international following with it's distinctive fusion of progressive rock, jazz and blues. Although Manfred Mann was already familiar with chart success from his earlier career, The Roaring Silence elevated Manfred Mann's Earth Band to an entirely new level of international recognition, reaching the top of the charts in 1977. Bruce Springsteen's "Blinded By The Light" certainly had all the ingredients of a hit, but it's phenomenal success must have come as a surprise to both Springsteen and the band, as it became the first No. 1 single for both artists. The song introduced a whole new generation of fans to Manfred Mann's Earth Band, with the inspired combination of newly recruited vocalist Chris Thompson's powerful performance and Manfred Mann's unmistakable keyboard work transforming it into one of the defining classic rock anthems of all time. To this day, it remains one of the most frequently played songs on classic rock radio. Available as a limited 2CD Mediabook including a 104-page booklet featuring extensive liner notes, rare photos and exclusive interviews, and as a limited 180g 2LP Gatefold Edition with pocket sleeves and a 40-page booklet featuring extensive liner notes and exclusive interviews. 2026 marks the 50th anniversary of the release of Manfred Mann's Earth Band's legendary album The Roaring Silence. Featuring the US No. 1 smash hit "Blinded By The Light," the album became a worldwide chart success and remains one of the band's defining releases. This deluxe anniversary edition includes the original album, complemented by an exclusive bonus album featuring three brand-new studio recordings by the band alongside live performances of songs from the album, spanning both the original touring era and recent concerts. It is a fitting celebration of one of the most influential and enduring albums in classic rock history.

Shipping, Returns & Cancellations
SHIPPING:
We ship Monday through Friday. Orders typically ship within 24-72 hours. Tracking is sent to the email you provide at check out and may take a few days to become active.
Any items ordered with Pre-Orders will be held until they can all ship together. If you need in stock items faster please order them seperately.
RETURNS:
Returns are only accepted on damaged or defective items. Return requests must be made within 7 days of delivery. Please save the original packaging.
If you own a Crosley, Victrola or any other lower end turntable that has no ability to adjust the weight of the tone arm and are experiencing skipping on a new record please try the "Penny Trick". Simply place a penny on the top of the cartidge and it should provide enough weight to resolve your issues. While a great entry to the world of vinyl we do recommend upgrading to a turntable with a tone arm that can be adjusted as this issue will randomly occur. We do not take returns in these cases.
Resellers: If you are buying from us for resale we honestly don't mind. However, please don't panic if something you bought suddenly isn't flipable for more money and then try to return stuff to us because you feel like you made a bad investment choice. Despite our outsized reputation we're a small shop, not amazon. Absorbing these costs adds up on places like ours. Plus a little patience always tends to pay off.
CANCELLATIONS:
Due to an increasing number of payment processors no longer returning transaction fees to sellers on cancelled orders and rising labor costs any orders or pre-orders that need to be cancelled before shipment will be assessed a 5% cancellation/restocking fee on the order total including shipping and any other taxes or fees associated with the order.
Thank you for your understanding.
