5 out of 5 stars Don't just think about it man.......... BUY IT !.......2004-04-30

Well, what can I say.With the wife and kids (dog,cat, hamster - anyone you care for really) well out of the way, turn it up FULL volume until the drums kick you in the head, the basslines make the walls move,Larry Wallis's guitar cuts through you like a knife and enter an alternate state of consciousness.A full scale assault on the central nervous system.Bloody fantastic. The album is worth buying just to listen to Russell Hunter's drumming on 'City Kids'alone(probably the best 3 1/2 minutes Wallis (or anyone else) has ever penned.) If you haven't heard of the Fairies check them out on the web to see why they are a legend and buy all their remastered albums.The Wallis-driven 'Kings' is their best effort. My wife hates it - the ultimate accolade.This is without doubt rock and roll at its very finest.

4 out of 5 stars Pink Fairies - 'Kings Of Oblivion' import.......2004-04-28

'Kings...' was originally released in 1973,being the band's third effort.The line-up on here is strictly a trio with Russell Hunter on drums,Duncan Sanderson on bass/vocals and Larry Wallis on guitar/vocals.This disc kicks MORE ass than I was expecting.I was quite impressed with "I Wish I Was A Girl","Chromium Plating",the boot stomping instrumental "Raceway" and "Street Urchin".Wallis's guitar ripping is worth the admission price alone.Wasn't he the original guitarist for Motorhead?In fact,this CD's opener "City Kids" went onto be a Motorhead tune.Comes with four bonus cuts added on,so you can't go wrong by picking up a copy of this title.Should appeal to fans of MC5,Deviants,the Melvins,Stooges and Spirit Caravan.

5 out of 5 stars Motts of Oblivion.......2004-01-01

What a band. Everybody loved the Fairies. On their night - the best band in the world; on their off days - well, the least said the better. They played every free festival there was, always turning up for them, but sometimes forgetting to turn up to the ones that they were supposed to be paid for. Touring with the equally infamous Hawkwind, ending every concert with a set of "Pinkwind", where everybody got up on stage for a Jam that would either be marvelous or, depending on the state of the respective band members, a complete shambles.

The Pink Fairies were well known for their excessive Rock `n' Roll lifestyle, ultra cool looks (denim, leather, very long frizzy hair, cowboy boots and eternal shades), couldn't care less attitude, and excellent musicianship. Unfortunately the later was generally ignored by the press, but mind you, they didn't exactly help themselves with their barely concealed contempt for the press or the music business hierarchy in general.

This dog's favorite Fairies' story is that of turning up at Maidstone Civic hall to witness the Fairies in motion. After a very under-rehearsed Fairies had blown the roof off with a ramshackle 40 minutes set including encore ("City Kids", "Lucille", "Johnnie B. Goode", "Well, Well, Well", "The Snake" and a 10 minutes "Uncle Harry's Freak Out"), we were greeted by a very annoyed looking Larry Wallis announcing from stage that the management had told them they were booked for 90 minutes and if they didn't play 90 minutes they wouldn't be paid. The band then came back on stage played exactly the same set again, only with "Uncle Harry's Freak Out" including an extra 10 minutes drum solo. So the band got paid, management were happy, and the audience all got to see the Fairies twice.

This album under review, "The Kings Of Oblivion", was the Pink Fairies third official release (after "Never Never Land" in 1971 and "What A Bunch Of Sweeties" in 1972). But to say the lineup had been consistent was like saying that the English cricket batting lineup was reliable. Already come and gone through the revolving fairy door had been ex-Pretty Things drummer Twink (off to play in "The Stars" with fellow spacemen Jack Monk and Pink Floyd's Syd Barret), ex T.Rex man, Steve Peregrine Took, Trevor Burton of Move Fame, Mick Farren, and Larry Wallis (who both came back), Paul Rudolph (lured away by promises of fame and fortune by Hawkwind..... another fine mess) and Mick Wayne, who, although only in the band for 6 to 7 gigs, wrote their surprise hit single "Well, Well, Well".

But when Mick Wayne was kicked out, this left the way for the glorious return of Larry "Lazza" Wallis, who'd been showing off his wares with "Blodwyn Pig" and "U.F.O" (Wallis' parting shot to U.F.O after being fired for not turning up to rehearsals had been "You May Rehearse, I Create"). Joining the nucleus of Duncan Sandersand on bass and Wildman of Rock Russel Hunter on drums, the Fairies then enjoyed a period of stability (18 months) during which they recorded this remarkable guitar driven album.

There is no doubt that this is Wallis' album, having a hand in writing all the songs, singing, playing guitar, production and engineering credits.

The album opens with the classic "City Kids" (which Wallis was to take with him when he formed "Motorhead with Lemmy after he was kicked out of Hawkwind,. All gets very incestuous,doesn't it) here in its original version, all crunchy guitars, rock solid bass and drums with a catchy chorus, which you are singing along second time around. All the songs here are 24 carat solid gold easy action; it is one of rock music's great in justices that this is not regarded as one of its all time classics.

Out of all the Fairies albums this is possibly their best, certainly their most refined studio effort. But should be played at 11 for maximum effect.

Over the years there have been many Pink Fairies reformations and comebacks, at one time there were four different versions of the band on tour, plus up to eighteen albums released under the Fairies banner. But take my word for it, anything with Larry Wallis on it is sheer class.

As for "The Kings Of Oblivion", who can resist a cover with three flying pink pigs on it, all wearing shades?

5 out of 5 stars 'Punk' Fairies hits the spot again.......2003-01-28

Oh my, Pink Fairies simply RULES! This is the third and last studio album by the band, and what a furiously adrenalined, powerfull farewell it is!! Drived by the amphetamine-fuelled crunching guitar assault of Larry Wallis, the storming, ferocious rhythm section of Duncan Sanderson and Russell Hunter and the ironic, blistering vocals of 'Sandy', the Fairies displays here an overwhelming proto-punk, glitter/mod drenched raging rock'n'roll, in an smashing, mind-expanding, irreprehensible sequence of thunderous songs. All the cuts included in that reissue are outstanding, but my particular favourites are "Chambermaid", "I Wish I Was a Girl", "Raceway" and "City Kids". ROCK ON, FAIRIES!!

5 out of 5 stars I love this CD!!!!.......2007-03-11

I bought this as a replacement for a record album (vinyl LP) and I am very pleased with it. The sound quality is excellent. Don't buy this for the extras (demo stuff), they really aren't worthwhile. Get the Stand and Deliver DVD with all the music videos from amazon.uk I am not expecting a US release of that DVD.

4 out of 5 stars Beautiful issue with it's share of short-comings..........2006-04-23

This could have been the definitive issue - in fact it probably is. It is THE definitive Adam And The Ants record (although my personal fave is still Dirk Wears White Sox). The U.S. Epic issue of the original CBS version added two B-Sides ("Press Darlings" and "Physical (You're So)"). They were the U.K. B-Sides to "Kings Of The Wild Frontier" and "Dog Eat Dog", respectively (the B-Side to "Antmusic" was "Fall In"). So in fact, those songs don't have much business being on the original issue considering Epic stuck them on there after the album was already issued (in the U.K.).

This remastered issue is incredible. The drums have never sounded as rightfully booming as they do on this CD. I highly recommend any Ant fan to pick this up. And if you have never heard this CD - it's easily one of the most original New-Wave records ever released. Quite a feat considering the general variety and diversity of most New-Wave records (in my humble opinion).

Sony has to get it together an release a definitive B-Side collection which includes "Press Darlings" (1994's B-Side Babies included "Physical" and "Fall In yet stupidly overlooked "Press Dalings" thus negating any "definitive" aspect to it.


"Dirk Wears White Sox!!"

4 out of 5 stars That music's lost its taste, try another flavor........2006-01-29

Better than "Dirk Wears White Sox", but not quite the sensational album fans or others might have you believe. This is a good album, but the remastering is probably the weakest of the remastered series. It still sounds rather quiet to me. There are more memorable songs here like "Antmusic", "Los Rancheros", "Dog Eat Dog", "Jolly Roger", "Kings Of The Wild Frontier", but the album as a whole is still uneven.

It was remarkable how he changed his sound and image though, and even more amazing that it all worked. Something like that could not be achieved in today's fickle market. The graphic design of the remastered package is great and ties into all the other remasters. The packaging is digipak, and the information booklet has all the lyrics. While I understand that fans would have liked Adam's memoirs on the album, I really didn't mind.

There are six bonus tracks, and I couldn't tell the difference between the original "Antmusic" and the alternate take. The rest are demo versions of songs on the album. I think this is the weakest album for bonus tracks. They do nothing to add to the pleasure of the listening experience and I agree with others that they should have included "Press Darlings" and "Physical" from the American release.

Overall, a good album.

5 out of 5 stars Amazon.com's tracklisting is wrong!.......2005-03-12

Hopefully Amazon will post a correction soon, but as of 11 March '05, the tracklisting here is incorrect. The correct tracklisting is:

1. Dog Eat Dog
2. 'Antmusic'
3. Feed Me To The Lions
4. Los Rancheros
5. Ants Invasion
6. Killer In The Home
7. Kings Of The Wild Frontier
8. The Magnificent Five
9. Don't Be Square (Be There)
10. Jolly Roger
11. Making History
12. The Human Beings
13. Antmusic (Demo)
14. Antmusic (Demo)
15. Feed Me To The Lions (Demo)
16. The Human Beings (Demo)
17. S.E.X. (Demo)
18. The Omlette From Outerspace (Early Version Of Ants Invasion - Unreleased Song Demo)

Amazon's UK site has the correct info.

Note that the alternate tracks from the original US release are not included on this CD (?!): Press Darlings and Physical. (The version of Physical on the Dirk remaster is the earlier Do It version.) Seems like a really weird decision, especially since the 1998 Sony remaster includes both of these tracks...

4 out of 5 stars "It's Your Money That We Want and Your Money We Shall Have!".......2005-01-31

Adam and the Ants' second release, 1980's "Kings of the Wild Frontier," was a mammoth hit in the UK where it went Number One for an incredible 12 weeks on the album chart. The band's sound boldly clashed British punk with African tribal rhythms, and the formula resulted in the hits "Antmusic," "Dog Eat Dog," and the dynamic title track. Other album cuts that shared the same brash energy of those singles are the catchy "Jolly Roger" and "The Magnificent Five." Nearly a quarter century since its release, "Kings of the Wild Frontier" gets digitally remastered and repackaged with bonus tracks. The remastering is pretty decent, and the CD is presented in a digipak with a nice booklet containing lyrics and rare photos. In addition, we get a handful of demo and rare tracks that will likely appeal to diehard Ant fans. But don't throw out your previous copy of "Kings of the Wild Frontier" yet. Much to my disappointment, this new edition omits two key tracks that appeared on the old version: "Press Darlings" and "Physical (You're So)." Why they're not on this album (or at least added as bonus tracks) is a mystery and is a big mistake on Sony's part, and as you can see from the reviews below mine, I'm not alone in my opinion. Still, this remastered version is a good way to introduce new listeners to one of the most successful British albums of the 1980s.
