Manford Best - Come Go With Me LP
SKU: PMG053LP
Description:
With the Super Wings in mutiny and a trail for the manslaughter of
his former bandmate, Spuds Nathan, still hanging over his head,
Manford Best came out swinging with Come Go With Me. It’s a chirpy,
calypso-influenced insight into the state of his mind and his first
solo album. Recorded at Godiac Studios with the guys from Rock Town
Express and a few of the Super Wings, Come Go With Me was the first
album recorded on a new Tascam system that Goddy Oku had just
bought back from London. The sound is crisp, clean and bright,
perfectly suited to tracks like ‘Come Go With Me’ and ‘Good
Morning’ and a welcome respite to the darker lyrics on ‘Nobody
Cares’ and ‘Far Far Far Away.’ One of the stranger cuts is ‘There’s
a Woman On My Mind (Mother)’. Manford regarded his mother as
something of prophetess and would act instantly and without
hesitation on the revelations in her ‘dreams’. Come Go With Me was
self-financed and released on Manford Best’s own MacSeries Records
label. Only 1,000 copies were pressed and he distributed them from
the back of a Toyota van himself. A rare Afro gem, deserving of its
place in the sun again. - Peter Moore
