I'm not certain about much information regarding this. It arrived, identified only as "Roundhouse 75 with Nik Turner and Lemmy". The better-known Pink Fairies Roundhouse show from that year was July 13th, which was recorded professionally and (partially?) released as 'Live at the Roundhouse'. This is NOT that performance (among numerous other differences, the most obvious one is that Nik is clearly audible on "Waiting for the Man", and there's no sax on the 'Live at the Roundhouse' version). However, the Pink Fairies also opened for Hawkwind at the Roundhouse on February 16th, and the Hawkwind set is known to have been recorded in comparable sound quality. That would explain Nik and Lemmy's presence (Lemmy would not likely have been either playing with the Pink Fairies at July 13th show, since the lineup included Paul Rudolph, his replacement in Hawkwind after his May sacking, nor would he have been playing on the same stage as Nik, who broke that bad news to him). That being said, I certainly don't hear any bass that sounds like Lemmy, so perhaps he played rhythm guitar. There definitely are two guitars on much (all?) of the set, but I don't know whether the second guitar is Paul Rudolph or Lemmy.
I'm not positive about the lineup ... I thought that the Roundhouse show from July 13 was the first time the five-piece "reunion" lineup played together, but (as previously mentioned) this is not that performance. There are clearly two drums, and definite Twink vocals (not positive about Rudolph vocals, and I don't hear either Nik or Lemmy's voices).
For those who don't know the Pink Fairies, they were a heavily drug-fueled, seriously hard-rocking, incinderary proto-punk band, ever-present in the muddy English free festival scene of the early 70s (along with Hawkwind, Edgar Broughton, Gong, etc.). They'd previously been the Deviants (with author/journalist/poet Mick Farren singing - er - vocalizing) before hooking up with ex-Pretty Things/Stars (with Syd Barret) drummer John Twink Alder. Original guitarist Paul Rudolph played on Brian Eno's 70s "rock/pop" albums (Here Come the Warm Jets etc.). His eventual replacement, Larry Wallis, had performed in an early (between Bolton & Schenker) version of UFO, and would form part of the original lineup of Motörhead less than four months after this performance.
If that description appeals to you, buy their three Polydor albums (What A Bunch of Sweeties, Neverneverland, Kings of Oblivion) and one of the recent live sets (Mandies and Mescaline, Uncle Harry, Golden Years) before you listen to this one .
