| | Magic - also look out for the Sam Gopal album it has been reissued a few times well worth a listen if you like this. (another Lemmy related item) |

| | Just had a gaze at Twink albums on site, will make a mental note of them and keep 'em peeled (Will have a little look on you tube too.)
Thanks chaps. |

| | The Twink LP 'Think Pink' is related to this family tree and it predates the Pink Fairies. It is an excellent LP. Original copies on UK and NZ Polydor and Sire in the US. |

| | A biog and links would be very helpful to me concerning this band and related... this album has gotten me wanting to delve into other work associated with them.
(think I've got Silver Machine by Hawkwind on 45 round about somewhere, and Hawkwind debut album.... will have to try and locate some Motorhead. Any other bands I should be thinking about in relation to these?) |

| | Magic, Lemmy was in Hawkwind and singer of their biggest hit. The related family tree by Pete Frame is here on memorabilia world.
You can already create a tree of sorts by writing a biography of an act and then linking to another related artist. |

| | ... And wasn't Lemmy in Hawkwind for a spell?
As I say, I've only ever been circling Pink Fairies, Hawkwind, Motorhead (and a gammut of other bands I really ought to have investigated before now!!) like Shatner circling a super green space lizard on a dodgy orange fibre glass studio set, figuring out how to properly grapple with such beasts.
But a thought popped into my head as a result of you pointing this fact out to me:
Wouldn't this be the perfect place (Shouldn't it be(?)) to have an interactive "Rock Family Tree" type of function?
Like under the main heading for each Band (and artist), a list of personel and acts they are associated with, as links you could click through to the particular albums they played on... so if a given band had a more fluid line up, then all past and present members would appear on that band's "Home page", then each album had a list at top or bottom say, of the line up of the mebers on that album.
...Could this be done as tags, links, or would a separate function be needed?
As regards this album.... I suppose I tend to forget that there was no such defined term as "Punk" or even "Progressive Rock" when bands like these and the above mentioned were making this music, so they perhaps were not so confined to adhering to a kind of set of values the way later groups were... and their undefined state allowed for a greater range of ideas to be tried out in the music.
This is why I think I get drawn to this era - after hippe sixties to about 72 odd, when everyone seemed to be just trying stuff out and seeing what sticks. Much broader it seems to me. |

Although they misspelled his name! |

Not sure if you know Magic M, but Larry Wallis went from this band to the first incarnation of Motorhead taking the song "City Kids" with him. They recorded an album, see (Motorhead/ On Parole/ United Artists) that album is definately similar to this one. |

| | Oops... added "Super", When I meant "Special" in the image text for the back cover variation.
The labels on the Special version are identical in every way to the standard labels scans. |

| | Picked this up on Monday in mint condition, Polydor "Special" variation, which I think was released a year after this (I'll scan and upload soon).
...And, well, another Polydor, another excellent piece of vinyl (quality of these is incredible!).
But as for the Pink Fairies...
...This was always displayed on the wall behind the counter of my local record shop when I went in there some twenty five years ago, and it always intrigued me, as I'd heard their name before, but never took the chance, and so was very pleased to find it at the boot fair.
Having recorded it, I can't quite make out what they are exactly...Prog, Punk, Blues, Rock?
They sound like all of the above, curiously. Certainly predate Punk (I should imagine they influenced a lot of that from what I can hear in it.) But I Hear Motorhead, Hawkwind, Psychedelic, Free, and all sorts in there.
Only a compilation I know, but a good album nevertheless. |
