Wow! We didn't expect this one, did we, PF fans! This is one of those wonderfully crafty albums which takes you by surpise rather like the outsider flying up and snatching the winner's cup from the odds-on favourite - where HAS this fine recording been buried for more than three decades? Well, thankfully, it's not some hand-held-cassette-recorder-in-the-crowd pile of mush; it was recorded for The Finnish Broadcasting Company on Saturday 21st August 1971 at the Ruisrock Festival, Turku, Finland; so, and bear in mind the age of the original tape here, IT IS rather an extraordinarily good recording - well, I'd put it alongside any BBC recording from the same era, so with that yardstick as guidance then it ain't half bad, man!
What tracks are on there, I hear you ask, as the information on the Amazon page is rather scant to say the least? Well, here we go, and you're gonna love this:- Introduction (0.45 seconds), Tomorrow Never Knows (6.39 minutes), The Snake (6.37), Uncle Harry's Last Freakout (20.08) and Walk Don't Run at (13.22); 40 something minutes of Fairies bliss with the then line-up of Paul Rudolph on Guitar and Vocals, Duncan Sanderson on Bass, and Russell Hunter on Drums.
And it's just wagging its finger at you in a come-hither fashion, and YOU KNOW you want to travel back there so click that BUY NOW button...go on , what's a tenner when you can enjoy such blissful nostalgia?

"A most ugly heavy noise", "not for general use", as some chaps at the BBC once said of the Fairies. A very accurate description, and exactly why you should buy this album. The Fairies at their wildest, freakiest best. Makes Blue Cheer sound like McFly. The previous reviewers are spot on. Essential.

Turn off your mind and float downstream... What fantastic album. It may've been recorded decades ago but it more than holds its own against any contemporary bands attempting to play such music. For PF diehards and fans this is ESSENTIAL; for anyone interested in wigged out psyche played by a proper power trio, this is ESSENTIAL. No doubt an analogue recording, and sounding fantastic because it is, this is a band on top form and it doesn't get much better. The synergy between all instruments is astounding but, for me, it's the guitar playing that excels. When you compare this against some of their contemporaries who achieved global fame, it makes you wonder why the Fairies don't even appear to be a footnote in the history of 60/70's rock anymore, when they played such great music. I can't recommend this highly enough. Play it very loud and enjoy.

The Pink Fairies were my favourite live act during my teenage years. Sadly the studio albums were always a bit of a let-down. So I was delighted to find this recording available. Read more

Fairies in Full Flight
A crunching set by what was in my opinion the best Pink Fairies line-up, i.e. the Paul Rudolph three piece.
A gem of a find and it's guaranteed to annoy the neighbours !
