Wayne Fontana And The Mindbenders: Eric, Rick, Wayne, Bob, Plus

1-CD-Album DigiPac (4-plated) with 24-page booklet, 20 tracks. Playing time: 52:02.

Their second album, adequately enhanced. It includes nine Fontana/UK bonus tracks, the hard to come by Pomus/Spector single B-side First Taste Of Love and the even more rare 'Walking On Air'-EP (1965). This CD also includes the Top 20 smash It's Just A Little Bit Too Late, and it features Eric Stewart on guitar (later of Hotlegs and 10cc fame). Songs by Burt Bacharach, Goffin/King, Leiber/Stoller, Chuck Berry and others, and a booklet with many photos and the band history.

Only very few bands have a new album out though in the meantime they have ceased to exist, with new products of the individual musicians already in the shops. That's exactly what happened with the second album by Wayne Fontana & The Mindbenders. There was no chance to promote the record and, hence, no chart entrances were on the horizon. A real shame as this reissue shows. The album is packed with versatility, power and sensitivity. Cover versions by Gene Pitney, Willie Dixon among others get the unique Mindbenders treatment - and Wayne Fontana's interpretation of Van McCoy's I Remember Love is a smash.

The fetching booklet includes many photos and documents the second half of the band's career. The CD includes nine extras: rare 1964/65 single B-sides and their last EP, 'Walking On Air', which is sought-after by collectors these days.

Wayne Fontana & The Mindbenders

Wayne Fontana & The Mindbenders were one of the successful British beat groups to come out of Manchester. Singer Wayne Fontana — born Glyn Ellis — fronted the instrumentalists Eric Stewart (guitar), Bob Lang (bass) and Rick Rothwell (drums). They were looked after by producer Jack Baverstock at the Fontana label, whose name merely happened to match the band's.

In early 1965 the group struck gold with the single 'The Game Of Love', which stormed to the top of the charts, while a US tour went off to everyone's satisfaction. But the pressure to stay on top soon told: follow-ups such as 'It's Just A Little Bit Too Late' and 'She Needs Love' fell short of expectations, and the band steadily ran out of steam.

Behind the scenes, their aims had drifted apart. Wayne wanted to move away from beat towards pop in the style of P.J. Proby or Dusty Springfield, the better to show off his voice; his three Manchester colleagues, by contrast, put their faith in their considerable instrumental skill and a harder approach.

In October 1965 Wayne Fontana walked off stage in the middle of a show, murmuring only "It's all yours!" to Eric Stewart. Stewart took over the microphone and the three of them finished the concert — in that moment one band broke apart and another was born: Fontana went solo, while the Mindbenders carried on independently under Stewart. The album 'Eric Rick Wayne Bob', recorded piece by piece beforehand, appeared in January 1966 and showed once more the group's versatility.
