Artist:  Wayne Fontana  and the Mindbenders

Title:  The Game of Love

Date:  1965

Label:  Fontana Records MGF 27542

Notes:   During the Beatles days of happy scrappy pop songs the Mindbenders were churning out tunes like "The Game of Love" and posing for record covers like the angry young men on the block. This record, though a bit time worn, has some great music, a few of which have become classics. I'm partial to their versions of "Git It" and "A Certain Girl". It looks like all of the boys on the cover are practicing their Eric Burdon, blues boy sneer. Gotta love it. 

Line Up:

Wayne Fontana (Glyn Geoffrey Ellis): lead singer
Eric Stewart: lead guitar
Bob Lang: bass guitarist
Ric Rothwell: drums
