Manny Charlton

At least one of the 4 input Marshall's Manny Charlton during the early years of "Nazareth" was a 1971 Marshall Major (the other was likely a Super Lead of the same year, 1971). Built specifically for him and the band by Marshall and shipped out with the band's name printed out with a label maker as Marshall used in those days on the rear of the amps. Manny was turned onto Majors by Ritchie Blackmore. The amp has survived in its original condition to this day in 2023, now living with its third owner since Manny Charlton who sold the amp to a private collector in Texas where he lived at the time. The amp was then bought by another private collector from New Hampshire who in 2022 sold it to a musician in Massachusetts. This 1971 Marshall Major was bought and sold each time since the first private collector in Texas (who had a MASSIVE collection of vintage Marshall's and other amps) with a 1971 Super Lead which is likely to also have been one of the original Marshall's shipped to Nazareth and which belonged to Charlton. Unfortunately that cannot as of now be definitively confirmed as the first collector in Texas could not be sure which of the several 71 Super Leads he had and sold were Charlton's as none still had the original labels from the Marshall factory.
