Biography
Pinkerton's Assorted Colours, formed in Rugby, Warwickshire, United Kingdom, were a pop band active during the 1960s. The group initially started as The Liberators and later evolved into The Wild Ones before adopting their final name in 1965. Their breakthrough came with the release of "Mirror, Mirror", co-written by Terry Stevenson and sung by Tony Newman, which peaked at Number 9 on the UK Singles Chart in February 1966. Managed by Reginald Calvert and supported by Radio City, Pinkerton's Assorted Colours released several singles, including "Don't Stop Loving Me Baby" (1966), "Mum And Dad / On A Street Car" (1967), and "There's Nobody I'd Sooner Love" (1968). Despite their initial success, the band struggled to maintain chart momentum and were often referred to as one-hit wonders. Following several lineup changes, they reformed as The Flying Machine in 1969. Notable members include Stuart Colman, who later became a BBC Radio One DJ and producer for artists like Shakin' Stevens and Cliff Richard, and David Holland, who went on to play drums for Judas Priest. Pinkerton's Assorted Colours disbanded in 1969.
