At The BBC 1970-1972 vinyl

The band often described as the British MC5, The Pink Fairies wore the clothes of the hippy era but their garage rock also paved the way for space rockers like Hawkwind, metalheads Motorhead - Larry Willis of the Fairies featured in their original line up - and the punk movement. This neat collection compiles ten tracks recorded for different BBC sessions, with versions of PF classics like 'Uncle Harry's Last Freak-Out' and 'Portobello Shuffle' - paying tribute to the then West London squatland and alternative lifestyle HQ - rubbing shoulders with uniquely executed covers of well worn rock standard like Chuck Berry's 'Johnny B Goode' and the early Lennon/McCartney classic 'I Saw Her Standing There'. A sumptuous slice of anarcho rock history.
