Pinkerton's Assorted Colours

Pinkerton's Assorted Colours

Pinkerton's Assorted Colours were a mid 1960s pop band from England.

Career

Formed in Rugby, Warwickshire as 'The Liberators', they became Pinkerton's Assorted Colours in 1965, and scored a top ten hit with their first single release, "Mirror, Mirror". They were managed by Reginald Calvert, and supported by his then, radio station, Radio City. Lack of further tangible 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 the likes of Shakin' Stevens, Cliff Richard and Billy Fury.

After their first single they shortened their name to 'Pinkerton's Colours', and 1969 they reformed as The Flying Machine, who also became one-hit wonders, albeit in the United States.

Band member Barrie Bernard later turned up in Jigsaw.
