Blue Mink - Banner man

 

Blue Mink was a British five-piece pop group, that existed from 1969 to 1974.  Over that period they had six Top 20 hit singles in the UK Singles Chart, and released five studio based albums.  According to Allmusic: "they have been immortalised on a string of compilation albums, each recounting the string of effervescent hits that established them among Britain's best-loved pop groups of the early 1970s

The band's debut single "Melting Pot", written by Cook and Greenaway, was recorded with this line-up and released on 31 October 1969 on the Philips label (catalogue BF1818), with the B-side "Blue Mink" (penned by Alan Parker); it peaked at No. 3 in the UK Singles Chart. An American cover version entitled "People Are Together" by soul singer Mickey Murray proved too radical for American radio and failed to get any meaningful airplay.

An album of the same name was released early in 1970, at the same time as the second single, "Good Morning Freedom", which reached No. 11 in the chart. The track did not feature on the first release of the LP, but was added to subsequent pressings.
