PINK FAIRIES - MANDIES & MESCALINE ROUND AT UNCLE HARRY'S 
...with a record deal." At least that's how drummer Twink describes his former band, the Pink Fairies, in the liners to this here CD.
Formed from the ashes of the Deviants in 1970, Twink, who had recently left the Pretty Things (of course I'm not forgetting his work on the brilliant Tomorrow LP), was joined by former Devies Paul Randolph (guitar), Duncan Sanderson (bass) and second drummer Russell Hunter. They were a drug-fueled battering ram of a band; At times you can almost feel your teeth grinding together from too many "mandies" as if by osmosis.
This 1998 collection brings together legit and bootleg performances-- their debut BBC appearance, a John Peel Session-- where they are augmented by former Move axeman, Trevor Burton, and two tracks from their legendary 1971 Glastonbury Fayre triumph (hence only available on a very difficult to find triple LP).
Tracks:
1. Lucille (Top Gear 1970)
2. The Snake (Top Gear 1970)
3. Johnny B. Goode (In Concert 1971)
4. Uncle "Henry's" Last Freakout (In Concert 1971)
5. Do It! (Glastonbury Fayre)
6. Uncle Harry's Last Freakout (Glastonbury Fayre)
Look in the comments, Junior.
