Does this mean that 'NeverNeverLand' and 'What a Bunch of Sweeties' aren't
"real" Pink Fairies albums!?!?!  I would beg to differ!  Much as I love
'Kings of Oblivion' (and the "Screwed Up" EP), I think that the first two
albums are the "core" PF recordings.  And the two tracks on 'Glastonbury
Fayre' blow away the 'Live at the Roundhouse' LP.

Of course, I'll admit that I haven't yet heard either 'Pleasure Island' or
'No Picture' ... I'm kinda wary of any new Twink stuff, and I've heard
mixed opinions ... but are they really worse than 'Kill 'em and Eat 'em'?
