RARE BRITISH 1966 ORIGINAL VINYL FIRST PRESSING with beautiful laminated cover as well as a M- sparkling record ...The relic british pressing contains the old UK production 'back flaps' as the back cover seams, signifying the sixties pressing... 42+ years old and pristine !

Wayne Fontana's first album following his split with the Mindbenders, 1966's Wayne One, is a curious affair. While the Mindbenders' releases followed the same British Invasion/blue-eyed pop-beatrocker path, Fontana made a headlong rush into the poprock world. Featuring smooth arrangements and top sessioneers like guitar maestro Big Jim Sullivan as backing musicians, the record is a mix of groovy melodies including a nice version of "The Entertainer," and some fine self-penned poprockers. Fontana wails like a man breaking loose from his past and really puts his heart into the songs. When the slick backing is scaled down a bit and the vocalist shows some grit, like on "Come On Home" or "My Friend and I," he works up quite a head of steam. The best song on the record, where his easy pop aspirations reach their Scott Walker-style apex, is his massive tune, "It Was Easier to Hurt Her." Despite the failure of this record at the time, it sounds like a very noble and entertaining effort many years later, certainly worthy of reissue

Played in its entirety, it make a case for Fontana as one of the buried treasures of the '60s poprock scene. His place in history aside, it also makes for fine, fun listening. If you love Scott Walker but his heaviness wears you down a bit, turn to Wayne Fontana and this excellent album.
