Blue Mink

Only When I Laugh is the fourth album by the British pop group Blue Mink, released in 1973. It was released under the title "Blue Mink" in the U.S., Canada and New Zealand. Two singles from the album charted in the UK, “By the Devil (I Was Tempted)” at #26 and “Randy” at #9…

The Morgan Studios session team's sophomore album is a classic example of (very) early-'70s British pop, an exquisitely performed, flawlessly arranged collection of lightly rocking originals that are not quite soft enough to be as cloying as similar efforts by contemporaries Harmony Grass and the Brotherhood of Man, but only occasionally memorable enough to actually stick in the mind…

Blue Mink were a British six-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…

Lightwight catchy pop songs very entertaining & diverse arranged and played by experienced musicians and fine female male vocals.

The Singles Collection contains 17 recordings by the popular U.K. band Blue Mink originally released between 1969 and 1974. If you're looking for the original sessions for Phillips, Regal Zonophone, and EMI you’ll find most of them here, including "Melting Pot,” “Banner Man," and "Good Morning Freedom."

The seemingly bottomless record collection of Nick Saloman from the Bevis Frond has spawned the third in an ongoing series of albums collecting obscure instrumental tracks from the '60s and '70s, and while many of these songs support the popular notion that the hipper and more interesting rock artists of the day were fond of vocal numbers, there are some fun and exciting tunes to be found on this set. Roaring Blue draws its title from the lead-off track, a swinging dance tune by the Sound of Jimmy Nicol, featuring the drummer who briefly replaced an ailing Ringo Starr during a tour in 1964 (this may explain why Nicol's drums are so far up in the mix), while members of the long-running U.K. pop band Blue Mink appear on the track "Beat Party" under the pseudonym the Underground, and John McLaughlin adds guitar licks to "Trans-Love Airways" by Big Jim Sullivan.

Don’t forget to don your best vintage from the Twenties to the late Fifties. 2009 two CD collection that brings together remastered and rediscovered gems from rare and original 78's with the best contemporary music influenced by 30's Jazz age sounds. Capturing a new zeitgeist, Disc One (White Mink) brings together the best of today's artists like France's platinum-selling Caravan Palace the Nu-Jazz star Parov Stelar, the UK's Jesse Rose and Austria's Waldeck with influential but hard-to-find early classics of the genre like "Princess Crocodile" by F.M. Einheit and Gry. Disc Two (Black Cotton) is the fruit of many years crate-digging for rare 78's that have then been tried and tested on the Club's dance floor.
