That was Mike Vickers, who went off to work in arranging film music and session work, including some work for the Beatles, the music for the film Dracula AD , and the opening and closing themes for This Week in Baseball. Mann had heard Bob Dylan performing that song live, and had realised that the song had never been released.
McGuinness took the opportunity of Vickers leaving the group to switch from bass back to playing guitar, which had always been his preferred instrument. He was replaced in turn by Klaus Voorman. But by the time that track was released, Paul Jones was out of the group. He actually announced his intention to quit the group at the same time that Mike Vickers left, but the group had persuaded him to stay on for almost a year while they looked for his replacement, auditioning singers like Rod Stewart and Long John Baldry with little success.
There was a lot of discomfort in the band at this time, because their record label had decided to stick with Jones as a solo performer, and the rest of the group had had to find another label, and were worried that without Jones their career was over. Manfred Mann, on the other hand, continued having hits, though there was a constant struggle to find new material. But the group continued releasing singles written by other people.
After this lack of success, the group decided to go back to what had worked for them before. The album from which that came, Mighty Garvey, is the closest thing the group came to an actual great album. Commercial success is very important to the group. It gives us financial freedom to do the things we want. The group split up in , and went their separate ways. Almost uniquely for a band from the early sixties, all the members of the classic lineup of Manfred Mann are still alive.
Manfred Mann continues to perform with various lineups of his Earth Band. McGuinness and Jones also still tour with the Blues Band.
