Fact of the Day: Formed in Rugby, Warwickshire as The Liberators, they became Pinkertons Assorted Colours in 1965, and scored a Top 10 hit with their first single release, Mirror, Mirror written and sung by bandmember Tony Newman. They were managed by Reginald Calvert, and supported by his then radio station, Radio City. Lack of further chart success found them dubbed one-hit wonders. Stuart Colman, Pinkerton’s one time bassist, went on to become a BBC Radio One DJ, and later a producer for Shakin Stevens, Cliff Richard and Billy Fury. After their second single they shortened their name to Pinkertons Colours, then to Pinkertons. In 1969, following several lineup changes, they reformed as The Flying Machine, who also became one-hit wonders, albeit in the United States. https://youtube/watch?v=Z2w9pCXsOT8
