In Search Of Manny
''In Search of Manny'' is the debut extended play by American alternative rock band Luscious Jackson. The EP was released in 1992 on Grand Royal. It is essentially the band's demo tape, released after Mike D of Grand Royal heard a copy. It was the label's first release. Recording The majority of the album was recorded by Jill Cunniff and Gabrielle Glaser, with Vivian Trimble and Kate Schellenbach appearing on only two tracks. Critical reception '' MusicHound Rock: The Essential Album Guide'' wrote that the EP "blends girl group pop, hip-hop rhythms, and smooth urban attitude into a unique stew." The ''Spin Alternative Record Guide'' called the songs "sweet and sleazy, irradiated by Cunniff's honeyed vocals and Glaser's glacial sass."

Spin Alternative Record Guide
The ''Spin Alternative Record Guide'' is a music reference book compiled by the American music magazine '' Spin'' and published in 1995 by Vintage Books. It was edited by rock critic Eric Weisbard and Craig Marks, who was the magazine's editor-in-chief at the time. The book features essays and reviews from a number of prominent critics on albums, artists, and genres considered relevant to the alternative music movement. Contributors who were consulted for the guide include Ann Powers, Rob Sheffield, Simon Reynolds, and Michael Azerrad.
