Pink Fairies - Mandies And Mescaline Round At Uncle Harry's (1998)

These are exceptionally good performances from one of the truly great arse rocking live bands of the early 70's who didn't outstay their welcome. To quote Twink in the sleeve notes:
Enter the Pink Fairies. Our mission was to revitalise the scene with cosmic rock and roll while simultaneously sticking it to 'the man'. Four post-hippy rock'n'roll Robin Hoods with a record deal. That was the dream. The dream is just beginning...
Unfortunately for me it was a nightmare trying to figure out whether these recordings could be upped here at all as the same tracks have been released on a CD called Mandies and Mescaline Round At Uncle Harry's on Burning Airlines Records in 2001. After much debate the mods have decided to let this pass as the label is unofficial so to speak. I.E. the performers will get zip from it's sale. Twink on the other hand is doing very well peddling these and other recordings as if officially sancioned by the band thenselves, so here we go full circle and stick it to him by sharing it freely. To think he thought the band sold out by signing to a major label...
