They made classics in popularity. The Velvet Underground went and made classics in obscurity. The Flying Machine made a classic that is simply forgotten...…That isn't to say the group would / could / should have changed the course of 60's music, but they were good at what they did. First of all, the same group had two incarnations: the first was Pinkerton's Assorted Colours, which scored a Top 10 hit with their first song, "Mirror Mirror" (written by founding group member Tony Newman). Sadly, the group never reclaimed any chart ground, and dwindeled in obscurity. The last song that was released as a single was a cover of Neil Diamond's "Kentucky Woman." Then, a flourishing new studio session endowed new confidence on the band and label Pye Records, so they got a new name and released "Smile A Little Smile For Me", about as much a Beatles-sound-alike song as ever was made, and it made it to #5 on the Billboard chart (rubbing up with two Beatles songs, the 5th Dimension, and Stevie Wonder). The group had little chart success after that, and eventually released their final single, "Yes I Understand" in 1971, disbanding shortly afterwards. What's amazing about the 2-disc compilation is just HOW GOOD the music is. Some of the early Pinkerton's singles blend into anonymous psychadelic slush, but some of the songs, B-sides in particular, are quite good. Most notably include the catchy-as-hell "Duke's Jetty" and what may be a precursor to disco - "Behind the Mirror". Take the riff from "The Flying Machine", re-record it, and you have an instant Modern Rock radio hit! Lyrically, "Pages of Your Life" and "Hanging on the Edge of Sadness" are actually quite good. The second disc, which includes all the tracks of the Machine's only album, Down to Earth, is astonishingly well produced and fresh sounding. Nearly every song is a highlight. Then, aside from the 3 demo versions of Pinkerton songs (which all are superior to the originals), the unreleased material is nothing but highlights, topping with a drum & guitar cover of "Fools Rush In", which is nothing short of incredible. It's sad that a group like this is now relegated to "60's Gold" compilations, because they could have been the top of their game. While you may recognize one (or maybe two) songs overall, this is still an excellent compilation if not just to show off to friends but also to enjoy - 60's classics that you've never heard before. Formed in Rugby in 1964, the first line-up of this band -- originally known as The Liberators -- was Samuel ("Pinkerton") Kemp on autoharp and vocals, Tony Newman on rhythm guitar, Tom Long on lead guitar, Barrie Bernard playing bass, and John Wallbank on the drums. Following a brief hook-up with producer Shel Talmy, which resulted in one single, Wallbank exited the line-up, to be replaced by Dave Holland. The quartet were seen and signed by Reg Calvert, the manager of the Fortunes, after which they changed their name to Pinkerton's Assorted Colours and adopted brightly colored costumes for their stage act. Their sound was an amalgam of folk and pop, highlighted by the use of an electric autoharp, which the band used in a manner somewhat similar to that of the Lovin' Spoonful. In late 1965, Pinkerton's Assorted Colours were signed to Decca Records, and they cut their debut single that year with future Moody Blues producer Tony Clarke. That record, "Mirror, Mirror," a band original written by Tony Newman, became a No. 8 British hit in 1966. They had one more minor chart entry, "Don't Stop Loving Me Baby," later in the year, but that was their last hit and after the failure of "Magic Rocking Horse," they left Decca to sign with Pye Records, and even a name change to "Pinkerton's Colours" didn't make their records more appealing. Ian Coleman later replaced Barrie Bernard (who joined Jigsaw) on the bass, but the group's days were numbered, and they faded away as the 1960's wore on. In 1968, after their failure with the Pye single "Kentucky Woman," Pinkerton's Colours -- with Steve James now on lead guitar -- transformed themselves into Pinkertons, and finally turned into Flying Machine, who released one album in a pop-psychedelic mode, in 1970
