The Mindbenders, live on air, recordings dating from March 22nd, 1966 to August 13th, 1968. From their huge success with Wayne Fontana and "The Game Of Love" in January 1965, Manchester group The Mindbenders were a guaranteed success story. However, in 1965, Fontana took a solo route and left the band midway through a live show in 1965. While many groups may have collapsed under the pressure, The Mindbenders suddenly found a new lease of life when they struck gold with "A Groovy Kind Of Love", a song that has become synonymous with the "Swinging '60s". It was this, and several other follow-up singles that prompted their numerous BBC sessions from 1966 to 1968. London Calling presents The Mindbenders in session for the BBC with host Brian Matthew. Includes a wealth of revealing interviews and exclusive recordings, and charts the group's journey as pop stars and the developing talent of songwriter Eric Stewart. Professionally re-mastered original broadcasts appearing here for the first time on vinyl. Includes background liners and rare archival photographs. Red, 180 gram vinyl; comes in hand-numbered fold-over sleeve, with insert.
