Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Please keep in mind our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office.Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has became very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable and will result in blocking the bidder. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our 8000 plus positive feedback. We use a VPI machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery.

Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music!

THE MINDBENDERS
Groovy Kind Of Love
\ USA - FONTANA RECORDS - SRF 67554
NEVER OPENED = STILL FACTORY SEALED
The second MINDBENDERS album, hit the bullseye again, even with their singer Wayne Fontana having left the band, they scored a remarkable beatrock album and even a bigger hit than before (Game Of Love) with the timelessly infectious title hit ... again, that's only the tip of the goods this album delivers ...
The MINDBENDERS remained together following the departure of frontman Wayne Fontana, and got off to one of the most promising starts any band could enjoy, when their debut single "A Groovy Kind of Love" soared to number two in the U.K. and topped the chart in America. And had the group only succeeded in getting listeners to HEAR this album, they might well have developed into one of the finest British bands of the late '60s.
Instead, a series of disastrous choices of 45s condemned them to the ranks and it is only later in these past years that the sheer quality of their work — i.e. material on this album previously lost on or ignored by listeners— has now been re-evaluated sufficiently to let listeners state that here was one of the greatest of Britain's beat bands. A Groovy Kind of Love album totally failed to capitalize on the success of its title track, floundering to a lowly number 92, but the album deserves much much better than its ranking back then...as many fans 40 some years later have found out....
The Mindbenders made their final American tour in July 1966, kicking off in Atlanta on Independence Day, in front of a capacity 25,000 crowd. It was a shame they were only the opening band. James Brown was the headliner and, while guitar/vocalist Eric Stewart remembered, "we went down quite well," a more memorable show came when the Mindbenders played the Fillmore West later in the tour. "The liquid light show was great and really worked with our act, which was a lot heavier than on our records."
