Man is a rock band from Wales. Formed in November 1968 as a reincarnation of the Welsh vocal group the Bystanders, Man is renowned for the extended jams during their live performances. Man was initially signed to Pye Records, for which it recorded its first two albums with John Schroeder. Their debut album 'Revelation' (January 1969) was noted for the simulated orgasm on the track 'Erotica'. 'Erotica' was released as a single, amazingly, and caused a stir in the UK, where it was banned.
I heard this track some 30 years ago for the first time, and searched for the single for some time. I wasn't successful and forgot all about it... until last week when I suddenly saw a copy during an outdoors record fair! Sometimes life throws you some unexpected surprises.
