Synopsis

Album Description

New discovery - a previously un-released Live recording of the Pink Fairies.·Recorded by Finland State Radio at the Turku Festival in 1971. Fully authorised by the band.Great quality - straight from the original radio station master tape archives in Finland. ·12-page booklet includes previously un-seen photos and notes from the band. The PINK FAIRIES - the psychedelic, acid spaced-out rockers, recorded on a rare overseas trip. Playing on the second day at the 1971 Ruisrock festival in Turku, Northern Finland, the Fairies were selected as one of the few bands recorded at the festival by the Finland national state radio station. The Pink Fairies now a three-piece band-following the departure of Twink, comprised: Paul Rudoplh-guitar, Russell Hunter-drums and Duncan Sanderson-bass and they pack an almighty punch-delivering a freight train wall of sound, full of psychedelic noise, riffs and energy. This one hour set comprises four huge acid/pysch live classic songs which lift-off, into the Finland stratosphere. The concert is great quality, mastered direct from the original record tapes.

Pink Fairies - 'Finland Freakout 1971' (Major League Product

Mike Reed | USA | 04/26/2009

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Great-sounding archive live performance from the Pink Fairies. Gig took place on August 21, 1971 at the Finland Turku Rock Festival. My only complaint is this vintage show should've been a bit longer - but that's okay. Live recording you get here has that 'like you are there' sound. Starts off with their powerful Beatle's cover "Tomorrow Never Knows", then "The Snake" followed the UK psychedelic punkster's classic - the twenty-minute ripping "Uncle Harry's Last Freakout" and the set closer, their homage the the surf legends The Venture's thirteen-minute "Walk Don't Run". Line-up was strictly a trio - Paul Rudolph-guitar & vocals, Duncan Sanderson-bass and Russell Hunter-drums. So highly recommended, I often get dizzy just thinking about it."

The Apocalypse comes to Turku

"Recorded live at the Turku Rock Festival, it's awesome that they made this available. Wild, heavy, out-of-control jams of 'Uncle Harry's Last Freakout' (off their first album) and 'the Snake' (their [first?] single), as well as surf-rock standard 'Walk, Don't Run' and Beatles psychedelic classic 'Tomorrow Never Knows'. I don't think either the Ventures or the Fabs had ever been butchered quite this uniquely (or massacred quite this brilliantly).

Don't expect a clean, sanitized, melodious or finessed performance. Expect a band that sounds like the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse tripping out and smashing planets at random. With feedback.

Proto-punk? Proto-metal? God only knows. I'm just glad they put this out. How about a release of their performance *outside* the Isle of Wight Music Festival? If such a recording exists..."
