John Charles Alder (born 29 November 1944), better known as Twink, is an English drummer, singer and song writer who was a central figure in the English psychedelic movement, and an actor. [Wikipedia]
His solo debut, "Think Pink" is a great record which I thoroughly recommend. These are some far-out recordings he did shortly after in an experimental session at his mate's studio. They were never released at the time until a few years ago, when Get Back got a hold of the tapes and contacted Twink himself to remind of him of their existence. He had completely forgotten about these sessions and was quite pleased with the recordings when he heard them after all those years, so they finally saw the light of day.
I've made a rip from my vinyl copy. It's not tracked, but I think it plays quite well as a whole, not really knowing where a track ends and another starts. Expect a lot of synth noodling and some very meaty, fuzzed out rockers. The only potential turn off would probably be some of the J.R.R. Tolkien references, but it's well worth a listen.
Note: this record is out of print, as far as I'm aware. This is why I've taken the liberty of posting it (with the only purpose of sharing it with you). If you really dig it, getting a used copy should be fairly easy to do on ebay or discogs.
i've got one too!
