The third and final Pink Fairies studio album, Kings of Oblivion, welcomed guitarist Larry Wallis to the brew,
bringing with him some of the band's most remarkable -- and concise -- material yet.
The opening "City Kids," famously recut by Motörhead during Wallis' sojourn with that band, is as dynamic an opener
as the Pink Fairies ever had, while the album's two epics, "I Wish I Was a Girl" and "Street Urchin," similarly catch
the band as they made a sharp turn away from the rockin' riff jam basics that scarred their second LP,
What a Bunch of Sweeties, and moved instead into the affirmative guttercat stance
that so effectively predicted the rudiments of punk rock.
Indeed, if any album could be said to have been born ahead of its time, Kings of Oblivion,
conceived in 1973 but sounding just like 1977, is it. Kings of Oblivion greeted at the time as the Pink Fairies' best album,
it remains a tightly coiled, furiously adrenalined beast, the summation of everything
that the Pink Fairies promised and all that subsequent reunions have continued to deliver ...(AllMusic)
