Yes We Have No Mañanas (So Get Your Mañanas Today) is the seventh studio album by Kevin Ayers, released in June 1976. This LP marked Kevin Ayers's return to the leftfield Harvest label. Producer Muff Winwood employed a straightforward pop production that clipped some of Ayers's usual eccentricities from the tapes.
The band comprised Rob Townsend from Family on drums, Taste's Charlie McCracken on bass, B.J. Cole's steel guitar and Ollie Halsall's guitar.
