A Groovy Kind Of Love: The Complete LP's & Singles 1966-1968

 

2CD

 

"At last all in one place, here are the full recordings of the 60’s Manchester brit-popsters The Mindbenders as fronted by Eric Stewart following the departure from the band of Wayne Fontana. Comprising 2 LPs, 6 EPs and 10 singles, this 2CD set provides the opportunity to hear their own well crafted heavier b-sides, and their totally in tune with the times tracks using wah-wah, phasing, off-beat drumming, lilting background vocals, and psychedelic sitar like solos. Includes tracks reissued for the first time on CD. Includes the sessions arranged by John Paul Jones.

Presents fascinating early collaborations between future 10CC-ers Eric Stewart and Graham Gouldman as the latter chipped in with song writing and production assistance during 1967. Stewart even began the foundations of Strawberry Studios as The Mindbenders entered their final phase."
