THE MICKEY FINN - GARDENS OF MY MIND (1967)


British group active in the 1960s.
They started life as Mickey Finn And The Blue Men on ska label Blue Beat. A shift to Oriole saw them gravitate to an R&B/beat sound, with help on occasion from a guitarist named Jimmy Page.


Q65 - CRY IN THE NIGHT (1966)


Formed in 1965 in The Hague, they made their recording debut with 'You're The Victor', a wild, rhythmic track inspired by the Pretty Things. It was succeeded by the equally compulsive 'The Life I Live',(CRY IN THE NIGHT IS THE B-SIDE). Q65 travelled to London to promote this release but, having been denied work permits, opted to turn the visit into a promotional tool. They returned to The Netherlands on a rubber lifeboat, taking almost 12 hours to cross the Channel. Upon landing at the Scheveningen Pier, the group was greeted by almost 30.000 cheering fans who were rewarded with an open-air concert.
