Mickey Finn & the Blue Men

about

The British mod rock group The Mickey Finn, active in the 1960s, actually started life as Mickey Finn & The Blue Men on ska label Blue Beat, coinciding with the craze for Jamaican music which exploded in 1964. A shift to Oriole saw them gravitate to an R&B/beat sound, with help on occasion from a guitarist named Jimmy Page. Further singles in 1965 and 1966 (as The Mickey Finn) the Shel Talmy-produced ‘The Sporting Life’ and ‘I Do Love You’ revealed their skill at soulful ballads. In 1967 The Mickey Finn unleashed one of the finest nuggets of the British psych era, ‘Garden Of My Mind’, on the Direction label.
