Neat EP I picked up off eBay some time back, featuring the first two singles from Tinkerbells Fairydust. Note that they're in a "simulated stereo" mix which to my understanding has never been reissued - the singles were originally only released in mono.

Previously known as The Rush, they were renamed Tinkerbells Fairydust for their Lazy Day 45, by producer Vic Smith. Lazy Day was a Spanky and Our Gang song and its flip is a well-structured slice of psychedelic pop. All three of their 45s are rare and collectable.

The band recorded at regular Sunday sessions at Decca studio number two in West Hampstead, with Vic Smith at the helm. An album was also recorded but was only not released at the time. Test pressings of this are mega-rarities. The album would have included four of their six singles tracks and nine cover versions. Two of the better covers include an attempt at Joe Cocker's minor hit, Marjorine, and a Vanilla Fudge-style arrangement of You Keep Me Hanging On.

The band also backed Gene Latter at a session at Lansdowne Studios, Holland Park, resulting in his Mother's Little Helper 45.

Twenty Ten was a No.5 hit in Japan in 1968.
