A mainstay of the British psychedelic movement, singer/drummer Twink was born John Alder, first surfacing
in 1963 as a member of the Colchester-based Dane Stephens and the Deep Beats;
when the group signed to Decca the following year, they adopted the name the Fairies.
Rechristened Twink, Alder turned up in 1967 as a member of the seminal UK psych band Tomorrow,
appearing the following year on their lone LP before forming the equally short-lived Aquarian Age,
which disbanded after just one single, "10,000 Words in a Cardboard Box."
He next joined the Pretty Things, appearing on their acclaimed rock opera effort S.F. Sorrow
before exiting their ranks in 1969, at which time he began work on his solo debut, 1970's Think Pink.
The sessions led to the formation of the Pink Fairies, which Twink founded with members
of the psychedelic combo the Deviants; after completing their 1971 debut Never Never Land,
he left the lineup, returning to action the following year in Stars,
a trio featuring legendary Pink Floyd alum Syd Barrett and bassist Jack Monk

RECORD from VG(+) to VG+ but (please, read above description)
SLEEVE VG (please, see pictures and read above description)
Think Pink is an incredibly varied album with no two songs resembling each other, but then one assumes
an acid masterpiece like "Ten Thousand Words in a Cardboard Box" will stay on high rotation for at least a week
on the stereos of most psychedelia fans, so overall album flow may not be such an issue.
This is pure psychedelic acid rock of the highest order. If one can imagine a fusion of the Incredible String Band,
Deviants, early Pink Floyd, and a fair dose of Twink's heredity as a member of Tomorrow and the Pretty Things,
you get an idea of what he was up to. Not known for doing things in halves, he shows little restraint in the assembly
of a group designed to tear the roof of the psychedelic scene.
The band was made up of the Deviants guitarist Paul Rudolph -- the U.K. equivalent of Fred "Sonic" Smith --
who provides the most astonishing fuzz freak-outs and arrangements on the album.
Other players included Viv Prince; Wally Waller; John Povey; Victor Unitt; Deviants bassist Honk; John Wood of Tomorrow;
and, of course, the not-to-be underestimated contributions from Steve Peregrin Took...(AllMusic)
