About The Mickey Finn
Formed
1961
Genre
Rock
The Mickey Finn (a band, not a person) had a few non-hit singles in Britain in the mid-'60s, a couple of which are highly esteemed by British Invasion collectors. Originally known as Mickey Finn & the Blue Men, the band was also notable for including Jimmy Page as a member, albeit briefly.
The best of the group's singles include "Night Comes Down" (produced by Shel Talmy), an R&B raver with a cool, jazzy tempo and powerful vocal. "Garden of My Mind" is a solid piece of freakbeat psychedelia that was their last single in 1967. "Night Comes Down" was reissued on AIP's Electric Sugarcubes Flashback compilation; "Garden of My Mind" and its flipside, "Time to Start Loving You," are on the same label's English Freakbeat, Vol. 2. The 1965 single "This Sporting Life" (b/w "Night Comes Down") was included on the See for Miles anthology The R&B Scene. ~ Richie Unterberger
