Mike d’Abo – Handbags and Gladrags

WE all know the big selling versions by Stereophonics, Rod Stewart and to a lesser extend Chris Farlowe, but what about the man who wrote the song?

Mike d’Abo, who replaced Paul Jones as frontman with Manfred Mann, wrote Handbgs in 1967. His own version, like so many originals, could well be the best. See what you think.
