| | Man : Bananas - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect |
 | | With Man having already shattered on the rocks of unfulfilled expectations in early 1976, it seemed a strange time to be releasing a new single, all the more so when the marathon jam of "Bananas" neither fit, nor belonged, on a 7-inch disc. |
 | | Marketed as an EP despite containing only two songs - the nine minute title track split into two 33rpm-playing halves - Bananas was reprised from 1972's oddly Deke Leonard-less Be Good To Yourself album. |
 | | No surprise, then, to learn that Bananas peeled off into oblivion, and today it lines up alongside all those other blink-and-you'll-miss-'em Man goodies that baffle and infuriate the band's many collectors. |
