Pink Fairies was an English rock band initially active in London’s Ladbroke Grove underground and psychedelic scene of the early 1970s. Only in retrospect have the Pink Fairies taken their rightful place in UK music history. They looked like hippies but acted like punks and played fast, invigorating rock’n’roll at a time when it was in short supply. This collection of ten tracks recorded at four BBC sessions showcases some of their best-known numbers as well as four cover versions never released on the band’s studio LPs. Sound quality is excellent throughout apart from the Feb ’71 session which is reasonable. Comes with full recording details and sleeve notes (see back cover photo).
