Mickey Finn & The Blue Men / Jimmy Page- KEEP MOVING!- CDr- 1997- Not On Label- No UPC- 50 grn
FACTORY PRESSED GENUINE DISC, NOT A HOME-MADE FAKE OF ANY KIND.
This compilation was released on 17th February 1997. Most of the tracks were done by East Londoners The Mickey Finn who were responsible for the monster-freakbeater "Garden Of My Mind", also included here. The compilers also put an eye on the work Jimmy Page was involved in and just gave the credits to Jimmy Page All Stars which was incorrect. Took the right band names from the Garage Compilation Database where it is also mentioned that the tracks 21 and 22 are not listed on the cover. The Mickey Finn are one of those cult 60s mod bands shrouded in mystery who have yet to enjoy a retrospective of their own - until now. They 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 label saw them gravitate to an R&B/beat sound, with help on occasion from a guitarist named Jimmy Page. This CD marks the first time when the Mickey Finn's recordings have been compiled: every A- and B-side plus the retrospective 7", ''God Bless The Child'', rescued from acetate, and three previously unissued demos. The Mickey Finn may not have notched up hit records, but their sixties adventures took them from the East End of London to trendy clubs in the South of France and the Bahamas. This collection of their work is an impressive tribute to their maverick, hedonistic spirit, comprising many their released recordings plus some "unissued at the time" 1966 tracks that have never been available on vinyl before. In 1964 the Blue Beat label released a single recorded by members of the Checkmates but credited to an as-yet fictional group, Mickey Finn & the Blue Men. The group began its real recording career in March 1964 when Oriole released a single featuring hip blue-beat arrangements of two R&B numbers. For the recording session at Regent Sound, they were joined by their friend Jimmy Page on harmonica. Page also played a handful of gigs with them and also blew harmonica on their next single, a version of Chuck Berry's "Reelin' And Rockin'" backed with an excellent punk R&B original, "I Still Want You". Shel Talmy took over production duties for their next single, released on Columbia in March 1965. On "Night Comes Down" Mark's brooding vocal is underpinned by a tense descending bass line by new member Mick Stannard, atmospheric keyboards from Fluff, and some wild, dissonant guitar work from Mickey Waller and Jimmy Page. Another Talmy-produced track, "Ain't Necessarily So", also dates from this period. Although the group was kept busy with live work, they went out on a package tour with the Kinks, the Yardbirds, and Goldie & The Gingerbreads, the next Mickey Finn single didn't appear until July 1966. The Polydor release found singer Alan Mark backed by session players for a cover of Billy Stewart's "Because I Love You" and a number by American songwriters Pam Sawyer and Lori Burton, "If I Had You Baby". It's the real band playing, though, on two solid soul numbers, cut at Regent Sound in 1966 but unissued at the time. By 1967 Bernard Jory had replaced Mick Stannard in time for the explosive "Garden Of My Mind", backed with the raucous Equals-style mover "Time To Start Loving You".
