Análisis (en inglés) - :
Extended-play formats were hugely popular in the U.K. during the 1960s. Often EPs were collections of previous singles or selected cuts from albums -- their popularity due to albums not being an affordable item for many consumers until the end of the decade. Unlike many acts, {$Manfred Mann} were to use the EP format as an opportunity to showcase new material. Only releasing two albums during their stay with {@EMI}, a huge number of tracks not considered for singles found their way onto EPs, three of which {^The One in the Middle}, {^There's No Living Without Your Loving}, and {^Machines} hit the number one spot on the nation's EP charts. This collection gathers together some hidden gems such as {&"Groovin,"} {$Bob Dylan}'s {&"With God on Our Side,"} and the self-penned {&"The One in the Middle,"} initially written for but rejected by {$the Yardbirds}. It also includes several early singles, including {&"5-4-3-2-1,"} {&"Cock-a-Hoop,"} and the transatlantic number one {&"Do Wah Diddy Diddy."} However, this package is sadly not definitive, lacking several tracks such as {&"I Put a Spell on You"} and {&"Let's Go Get Stoned"} from {^There's No Living Without Your Loving} and the majority of cuts from the band's 1966 {^Instrumental Asylum} EP. Yet for the {$Mann} enthusiast who wishes to go beyond the purchase of a standard hits package, this is an excellent introduction to some of the group's more eclectic work. ~ Rob Flanagan, All Music Guide
