Pink Fairies Neverneverland: 50th Anniversary

English rock band Pink Fairies was bred in the London underground and psychedelic scene of the early '70s. Their first album Neverneverland, from 1971, is a mix of psychedelic, proto-punk ("Do It"), rock ("Teenage Rebel," "Say You Love Me") and even American R&B ("War Girl") sounds which showcase their wide style. Also included is the B-side of their debut single "Do It" which was later covered by The Henry Rollins Band on their 1988 Do It album.

"Released over a year after their formation, Never Never Land is one freakin', rockin'-rollin' monster...Paul "Black George" Rudolph commands his Baby Gibson Les Paul effortlessly into virgin, un-navigated realms of controlled noise from pure silk to raw power as Tony Iommi, Jimi Hendrix and Pete Townshend (circa "Live At Leeds") all take roost in his head and the complete abandon of his dosed-up guitar guides the whole ensemble into a series of abandoned freak and rolls previously unheard of in England." - Head Heritage
