OFF: Pink Fairies (was: Re: HW97)

[Doug Pearson]

Here's the deal on two of the 3 PF's archival thingies:

'Uncle Harry' (2xLP, Get Back, Italy)
1) Lucille
2) The Snake
3) Johnny B. Goode
4) Uncle Henry's Last Freakout
5) Do It!
6) Uncle Harry's Last Freakout
<one side of etched vinyl>

tracks 1&2 - BBC '70 (w/Twink)
tracks 3&4 - BBC '71 (w/Trevor Burton)
tracks 5&6 - Glastonbury Fayre (w/Twink)

'The Golden Years' (CD, Cleopatra, US)
1) 10000 Words In A Cardboard Box
2) The Sparrow Is The Sign
3) Do It
4) Lucille
5) The Snake
6) 3/5 of a Mile in 10 Seconds (Jefferson Airplane cover)
7) Tomorrow Never Knows (Beatles cover)
8) Do It
9) Uncle Harry's Last Freakout
10) Johnny B. Goode

tracks 1&2 - from Twink's 'Think Pink' LP
track 3 - studio demo
tracks 4&5 - BBC '70 (as above)
tracks 6&7 - unknown source (same as track 3?)
tracks 8&9 - Glastonbury Fayre (as above)
track 10 - BBC '71 (as above)

... so the Italian version is missing the 'Think Pink' tracks, the "Do It"
demo, and the two 60s covers, while the US version is missing the BBC '71
version of "Uncle Harry"/"Uncle Henry".

Either way, a must for fans of the first three Pink Fairies albums
(especially the Glastonbury tracks!).  What about the UK version ('Mandies
& Mescaline')?
