The inserts to the Pink Fairies album Kings of Oblivion, 1973, showing the 3 band members indulging in their favourite vices! I heard them in the 70's but never had this album until this week. Neat stuff! #larrywallis #duncansanderson #russellhunter #pinkfairies #ukrock #music

Not sure why the recent-ish Future Shock #vinylreissue of the #PinkFairies Kings Of Oblivion LP (a desert island classic imo) irks me so. But somehow this kinda subtle artwork fuckery seems more of an affront to now-deceased visual artist #EdwardBarker than if they'd just slapped a totally different, unrelated cover on it

@Long_live_rock_n_roll #PinkFairies - Kings of Oblivion (1973). My favourite hard rock record of all time.

Tornando sui Fairies,* ho trovato questo bell'articolino che racconta l'intreccio e la fusione tra gli stessi Fairies e gli Hawkwind:
https://www.loudersound.com/features/pink-fairies-hawkwind-pinkwind
«When asked which album summed up the Fairies at their best, Sanderson has no hesitation in settling upon a live recording from 1971 called *Finland Freakout*, released in 2008. “Our version of The Beatles’ Tomorrow Never Knows. That was us. That’s how I remember us as a live act. The really big over-the-top screaming guitar, thundering bass and flailing drums. I like to think that when we were good we were very, very good; and when we were bad we were fucking awful.”»
* ne avevo parlato qui (a proposito di Pink Floyd e «Never Never Land»): https://puntarella.party/@leodurruti/113819902669995867

A questo punto la questione più spinosa da affrontare riguardo a «Never Never Land» è la seguente.
È il 1971, ti compri il disco, qualche mese prima hai divorato il singolo The Snake/Do It. Ci poggi la puntina sopra e parte proprio quella bestia di Do It <https://youtu.be/LxjV2tQXWkk>, una canzone che non si sa bene cosa sia nel 1971, una specie di anticipo dell'hardcore (non a caso coverizzata dalla Rollins Band <https://youtu.be/OSxbmueg0eM>). Godi come un riccio, vuoi spaccare tutto. Finisce Do It e parte 'sto maledetto folk pastorale di Heavenly Man. Delusione enorme (la delusione del 1971), bestemmi in aramaico.
Che cazzo di scelta è mai questa?Tra l'altro The Snake (bella) non è nel disco, ma ciò è normale per l'epoca (Strange Kind of Woman non è in «Fireball» in UK, per dire)

Tornando a «Never Never Land» dei Pink Fairies.
Plagio dei Pink Floyd un cazzo, c'è una catena di influenze che segue questo filo qui:
Inserire pezzo folk pastorale dei Pink Floyd pre-1971 (io posso dire Pillow of Winds perché l'ho ascoltato ieri, ma tu fan dei Pink Floyd ne troverai sicuramente uno più adatto) --> Heavenly Man dei Pink Fairies <https://youtu.be/Cuc5-BqcZ-o> --> Us and Them dei Pink Floyd <https://youtu.be/HoLhKJuGhK0> 😮
Plagio dei King Crimson? Anche qui direi di no, parliamo di somiglianze piuttosto, tra Track One, Side Two (s'intitola così, non l'ho deciso io) dei Fairies <https://youtu.be/eLhbSZVYid4> e I Talk to the Wind dei Crimson <https://youtu.be/UlKrH07au6E>
