Some folks hold that The Pink Fairies were the missing link between hippie and punk. . . . And judging by this odds-'n'-sods collection that includes scuzzed-out Beatles and Jefferson Airplane covers, -- a leering wank-fest called "The Snake," and 20 minutes of over-amped psychedelia -- that's exactly what they were. . . . -- Entertainment Weekly

ILL just say THEY WERE, like LIGHT YEARS, more INTELIGENT BETTER AT BEING BAD THAN THE STOOGES, ever WERE,THANX god their is nothin remotely IGGY popish on THIS SLAB of mayhem.
Mind you I love the FAIRIES, went to London to see them live @ The King's Cross Cinema way back in July '73! Fantastic concert, lots of fun, naked girl onstage... Those were the 70's! The amazing Larry WALLIS was the guitar player then, having replaced the awesome Paul RUDOLPH. There's no doubt about it, both were fantastic. But time passes. And like the aforementioned Larry WALLIS was quoted as saying, TWINK, who was no longer with the Fairies by the end of 1971 disgraced himself and the Pink Fairies in allowing such low-quality recordings to see the light of day! The songs on this CD do not sound vintage, they sound as if they were played on a transistor radio with low batteries and recorded on a tape which was already half torn. Twink surely needed the money badly. Together with Paul Rudolph, they even released a couple of CDs about 10 years ago, as mentionned by some other reviewers, under the Fairies monicker! The sound is better but the songs are worse. Has anybody out there been able to listen to the lengthy track titled "No Picture" from the Cd of the same title without hitting the forward button after 2 minutes? If you miss the Fairies badly like I do, buy instead the Larry WALLIS solo album "Death In The Guitarfternoon" which was released in '02. This is what the real and genuine Fairies were about, the best Fairies album since "Kings Of Oblivion"! It says it all.

To my knowledge, this is one of about three Pink Fairies domestic releases on CD. Starts off with two songs the psych nugget "Ten Thousand Words In A Cardboard Box" and "The Sparrow Is A Sign" which both are penned by Twink, the band's drummer and were pulled from his 1970 solo effort 'Think Pink'. Other notable tracks would be the demo for "Do It" and the nineteen-minute live version of "Uncle Harry's Last Freakout". There are a couple of rough mixes of "The Snake" and the oldies standard "Lucille". The Pink Fairies would be best described as psychedelic garage rock. As far as I know, Twink and bassist Paul Rudolph semi-exist today as the Pink Fairies. I encourage you to check out their first three lp's out now on import CD, 'Never Never Land', 'What A Bunch Of Sweeties' and 'Kings Of Oblivion'. You won't be sorry you did.
I don't remember where I read about the Pink Fairies (this CD ends three years before I was born) but I've always been interested in pre-70s punk or hardcore, and I decided to check it out. The music was terrific; THE SPARROW IS A SIGN and their superb cover of the Beatles' TOMORROW NEVER KNOWS were probably the best. I must agree with the first reviewer, though; if they could manage to improve the sound quality (which was pretty abysmal) or remaster it somehow, it'd be great...
10,000 Words In A Cardboard Box was originally by Aquarian Age which Twink was in around 1968 and they only had two songs. You can find it as a bonus track on Tomorrow's self titled album. This version is also on Twink's Think Pink album from 1971. You should check out the original version from the Aquarian Age though.
