The Pink Fairies – they have plenty of mediocre stuff, but “The Snake” / “Do It”, their first 45 is their best – pure grunge & very heavy for 1971.
“Kakkoi” my friend Ryoma said when I played him “The Snake” for the first time.
Red vinyl from the Italian issue.
my brother had a copy of this single and we played it a LOT… it still gets to me. we’re from Wimbledon so our team was also south of the river–Chelsea–and this 45 segued perfectly into our saturday afternoon routine… along with Harry j’s the Liquidator, of course. 🙂
