mandies & mescaline has 6 tracks:

1 lucille
2 the snake
3 johnny b. goode
4 uncle henry's last freakout
5 do it!
6 uncle harry's last freakout

1 & 2 are top gear 28/11/70
3 & 4 are in concert 4/11/71
5 & 6 from glastonbury 24/6/71

i have both the golden years and mandies.
mandies has a better sound.
seems to be from original tapes and golden years is not.
i like the booklet of mandies more too.
some very interesting stories in it.
and some small b & w photos though the cover is in color.

but it's great music.
i think the first 3 pink fairies albums stood the test of time.
what a bunch of sweeties ..................
