Previously Unreleased
''Previously Unreleased'' is a 1984 EP by the English guitarist Larry Wallis, released under the name Pink Fairies. The EP contains "As Long as the Price is Right" which had previously been issued as a single by Dr. Feelgood (who would cover "Talk of the Devil" and "Can't Find the Lady" on their ''Doctor's Orders'' and ''Mad Man Blues'' albums, respectively). That song, and "It's Coming Back Again" were both originally recorded by Wallis for his aborted solo LP for the Stiff label in considerably different form. The EP came out while Wallis was playing with Butler and Sanderson in a band with many names, most notably 'The Police Cars' and 'The Love Pirates of Doom' along with second guitarist Andy Colquhoun and was recorded at that time, though without Colquhoun's input. The line-up played many gigs at Dingwalls, once appearing as The Deviants with Mick Farren (vocals) having also been the support band, and later at the Cricketers (Oval) and (once) in Leeds (minus Sanderson).

Live At The Roundhouse 1975
''Live at the Roundhouse 1975'' is a 1982 album of a 1975 concert by the UK underground group Pink Fairies. A one-off reunion concert featuring all five previous members of the group was organised by Ted Carroll, head of Chiswick Records. At the time of this gig, former member Paul Rudolph was also playing bass for Hawkwind and Larry Wallis was playing guitar for Motörhead. The tapes were licensed from Douglas Smith for release in 1982, although only part of the concert was issued, the rest being deemed unsuitable for public consumption.

Kill 'Em And Eat 'Em
''Kill 'Em and Eat 'Em'' is a 1987 album by the UK underground group Pink Fairies. This is a reformed Pink Fairies, prompted by an offer from Jake Riviera, head of Demon Records. Of the five original group members, Paul Rudolph wasn't involved. Wallis' preference for having a fellow guitarist led to the inclusion of the only non-former member Andy Colquhoun, but Colquhoun had worked extensively alongside Wallis during the late 1980s Mick Farren group. Farren himself contributes some lyrics, including those of a re-recording of his "Broken Statue" single.

Dingwalls
Dingwalls was a live music and comedy venue adjacent to Camden Lock, Camden, London, England. The building itself is one of many industrial Victorian buildings that were put to new use in the 20th century. The original owner of the building, T.E. Dingwall, had his name painted on to the outside wall of the building, which was a common practice by businesses in Camden Town during the late Victorian era. The paint is still visible to this day, hence the venue's name. The 500-capacity venue was bought by promoter Vince Power in June 2020 and continues to host gigs of contemporary music. It was renamed and reopened as The PowerHaus after a copyright issue blocked the use of its original name. History First launched as the newly developed Camden Lock's flagship venue in the summer of 1973. The Natural Acoustic Band performed five times between July and November 1973. Dingwalls Dancehall was open to all - "reasonably priced at half a bar for entry", providing the longest bar in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
