[ listen ]

Good Morning Fogbank is more like it. My bike-ride to work this morning was completely shrouded in mystery. This 1970 Blue Mink LP is one of the things I found up in Bellingham over the New Years holiday. Blue Mink was making music from 1969 to 1974, featuring vocals by British singer/songwriter Roger Cook along with Madeline Bell, who's originally from New Jersey. The group had six top-twenty singles in the U.K. during their five years together, including "Good Morning Freedom" which made it all the way to #10.
