After an awesome psych-punk debut album _Never Never Land_, the Pink Fairies ditched the acid-addled style of tracks like "Heavenly Man", instead going for lengthier, riff mad jams.
While initially not as impressive as _Never Never Land_, after a few listens _.....Sweeties_ reveals itself as a great LP in it's own right. Stand out tracks are "I Went Up, I Went Down" (the mellowest song on the album), the country piss take "Pigs Of Uranus" and a husky cover of The Beatles' "I Saw Her Standing There".
Also of note is the 9 minute plus version of rock 'n' roll classic "Walk Don't Run". I'm sure when Johnny Smith, whoever he may be, first wrote this (much-covered already sorta thing) tune he never imagined it'd be covered in such a way! An even longer, alternate take of the song is included as a bonus track.
This band is pretty damn underrated- I can recommend this album to all fans of jam heavy sludge, stoner, psych, proto punk and space rock.
