This little mystery was finally solved by an article in "Record Collector" a few years back. The two bands are basically they same -- they formed in 1963 as "Mickey Finn and The Blue Men", then released 3 singles in 1964 before changing to "The Mickey Finn" in 1965. Mickey Waller (later of The Heavy Metal Kids) was their guitarist. The guy from T.Rex had nothing to do with them. There is another Mickey Finn out there -- a country artist, I believe.

A. guy? No way, Frank. Or so i think: Evidence: 1) "World Artists" meant just that. It was a U.S. label, mind you, but wasn't everything on the label from "NOT U.S." (hence, the label name)?? 2) I just played the single again.....it's too.....um, BRIT sounding (kinda Yardbirds-y, Mose Allison-y, lotta minor-key-ish, echo & reverb-y with that sort of "in a well" sound a lot of UK 60's records had....just not the sort of sound U.S. records HAD, dig?) 3) it also sounds WAY too sophisticated to be 1965, as someone (Scott?) pointed out. But hey, it could very well BE 1965. In which case, best damn record a third-stringer like Mick Waller was ever involved with. The research continues, i see there's more than a few answers to look over coming up in my "unread" posts....lemme check em out. - -g ps: are there any mags around these days like Bam Balam, Gorilla Beat, etc? You know: the kind that get DEEP into the UK shit. Anyone do like "THE" book on the subject yet? I'm very much into trading these days for the more scholarly zines, if anyone's sitting around looking at a pile of them and thinking: "Gee, my kids and wife and house and pacemaker and Viagra bills are taking up all my time now, guess i'll never get around to reading these. Let's let {{{{G}}}} do his own damn homework, we'll hook him up!" OK OK, i can dream...., man, you guys would run me outta town on a RAIL if you knew how much stuff i basically had to throw out while i was packing to move out West. And i fucking KNEW i'd regret it. As it is, i still have 13 boxes of the "creme de la creme" of zines sitting in storage. Doing that "Zines" column in SSG and Bomp and TBE and NYR all those years basically got me flush with the best of the rock zine scene from 1974-84. The Bomp List is acting as my Info Central until i get that stash within reach. You didn't have to answer but you did, but you did, but you did, and i thank you. - ----------------------------------------- fbrandon wrote: > > pretty sure that the mickey finn on world artists was from la---for some > reason i'm thinking there is a mickey rooney jr. connection---seems like > somewhere in past life this same question was asked, analyzed and > answered---not sure about the two brit mf's though... > -----Original Message----- > From: apollojams > To: bomp@xnet2.com > Date: Thursday, February 10, 2000 8:40 PM > Subject: Viscounts, Others & Mickey Finn > > > > >Hi, guys: > > > >Coupla questions: > > > >Mickey Finn and the Bluemen: "I Still Want You" (Oriole (UK) 7" 1940) > >Mickey Finn: "Night Comes Down" (World Artists (U.S.) 7" 1048) > >Mickey Finn: of T.Rex > > > >All the same guy? > >Ya got release dates or years on the first two? > >I'm *guessing* 1965 and 1969, respectively.
