The Mickey Finn "Garden of My Mind" The Complete Recordings 1964-1967

First-ever official Mickey Finn compilation CD release. I've heard the name more times before than one might think - as what I've always heard is that guitarist Jimmy Page would often step in to help, assist, etc. Mickey Finn whenever he could……Great - British '60's Mod / R&B to thoroughly take in here. Looks to be everything the Mickey Finn had ever recorded. Got the most out of the catchy "I Still Want You", the quite familiar-sounding title cut "Garden Of My Mind", "Time To Start Loving You", the wonderful-sounding - soulful "Ain't Necessarily So", the rocking "Sporting Life", their Chuck Berry classic - well covered "Reelin' And A Rockin'". "Stagger Lee" and "Tom Hark". Recommended for fans of The Motions, Yardbirds, Les Fleur De Lys, The Sorrows, early Stones, Them, The Faces and Downliners Sect. (Shindig)trax:
01 Pills 02 I Still Want You 03 Garden of My Mind 04 Night Comes Down 05 Hush Your Mouth 06 Time to Start Loving You 07 Ain't Necessarily So 08 If I Had You Baby 09 The Sporting Life 10 Because I Love You (AKA I Do Love You) 11 Reelin' & A Rockin' 12 Stagger Lee 13 Poverty 14 Miss Jane 15 God Bless the Child 16 Tom Hark 17 Please Love Me

Great album! I first heard "Garden of My Mind" and "Night Comes Down" in 1967-68 by Radio Caroline / London and later, when Radio Veronica was closed by the Dutch government, in Art Visser's radio program with the beautiful name "Super Clean Dream Machine" by Hilversum III. Thank you Gyro1966 for this great memory! - RYP

Remember "I Still Want You" was one of the stand out tracks on a comp I bought in the mid 70's.
