Details: Limited 180gm vinyl LP repressing comes housed in a faithfully restored sleeve. The Good Earth was an album released in 1974 by Manfred Mann's Earth Band. It's opening song is a cover of "Give Me the Good Earth", written by Gary Wright and released on his 1971 solo album Footprint, while tracks 2 and 3 were originally by Australian progressive rock band Spectrum. Early owners of each copy of The Good Earth were entitled to rights over one square foot of the earth situated at Llanerchyrfa in the County of Brecon, in Wales. The inner sleeve included a coupon that had to be sent for registration. This was part of the promotion activities linked to the album that had ecological inspirations. There was no swindle and thousands of fans were registered. Registration could be done on or before 31 December 1975.
