From Gatefold Cover: Solar: Concerned with, determined by the sun Fire: Active principle operative in combustion. The Concise Oxford Dictionary Management H.M.M. 490, Old Kent Road, London SE1. Recorded at the Workhouse, Old Kent Road, London, 1973. Re-printed by Vox Humana Records Printed in Europe From booklet: CD artwork: Creation Graphics, Luton. Released 30th November 1973 Catalogue number - Bronze/Island ILPS 9265. Re-Issued as BRON 265 in April 1977. Other Info: The release uses the cat# of the original vinyl release. It seems to be an unofficial release, though there is no valid info on this available so far. Vox Humana Records seems to be from Italy, but it could also be a Russian release. At least the copy that was used for this submission was sold from Russia. The release is a mixture of a miniature copy of the Original Bronze/Island vinyl release, the [url=http://www.discogs.com/release/1231378]Cohesion Remaster CD[/url] and the [url=http://www.discogs.com/release/1231252]Air Mail Archive Papersleeve Edition CD[/url]. It comes with a lavish miniature gatefold cover and a paper inner sleeve restoring the original artwork faithfully. The CD has vinyl imitating print with centre label. Also it comes with a standard CD booklet which is more or less a copy of the Cohesion Remaster version with slight differences. In all it is a very accurate and complete release, though most likely a plagiarism. The credits in the booklet are split into "Original Album Credits" and "1998 re-master credits". No writer credits are given on the release.

From Booklet: Manfred Mann's Earth Band - SOLAR FIRE - Released 30th November 1973 Catalogue number - Bronze/Island ILPS 9265. Re-issued as BRON 265 in April 1977. Extra Note: While re-mastering this album we have removed the clicks and Pops (and there were many!) that occur on recordings and edits of this age. We have however left some edits untouched where we thought it might compromise the original feel of the music had they been removed. We have definitely not removed the sound of Chris Slade's squeaky drums pedals! After all they retain a special ambience all of their own! Solar: Concerned with, determined by the sun Fire: Active principle operative in combustion.
