{"product_id":"eric-rick-wayne-bob-plus","title":"Eric, Rick, Wayne, Bob Plus","description":"Liner Note Author: Oliver Schuh.\u003cbr\u003eIllustrators: Harald Mau; Wayne Fontana; John Beecher; Willi Zinzow; Wolfgang Lackmann.\u003cbr\u003ePhotographers: Harald Mau; Wayne Fontana; John Beecher; Willi Zinzow; Wolfgang Lackmann.\u003cbr\u003eBear Family's reissue of Wayne Fontana and the Mindbenders' second album, Eric, Rick, Wayne, Bob, bears a subtitle of Plus and that \"Plus\" does cover a lot of material: nine bonus tracks in all, including the 1965 EP Walking on Air and assorted singles and B-sides that haven't made their way onto CD. All of these provide added value to an album that was already appealing. Essentially, Eric, Rick, Wayne, Bob is a Brit-beat covers album from the mid-'60s, with the group running through a bunch of standards of the time -- \"Memphis Tennessee,\" \"Some Other Guy,\" \"Skinny Minnie,\" \"I'm Your Hoochie Coochie Man,\" \"Duke of Earl,\" \"Um, Um, Um, Um, Um, Um,\" \"He's a Rebel\" (which becomes \"She's a Rebel\") -- and a bunch of other similar-sounding tunes, all given spirited, joyful readings. The Mindbenders aren't especially bluesy, as their \"Hoochie Coochie Man\" amply illustrates, but they have a bright, infectious spirit that flows throughout the LP and its accompanying bonus tracks. It's a period piece but an enjoyable one. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51303620378911,"sku":"4000127172334","price":20.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/e86d28d47a955dd8c82f2be64a960050.jpg?v=1777861617","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/eric-rick-wayne-bob-plus","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
