Previously Unreleased is a 1982 album by the English guitarist Larry Wallis, released under the name Pink Fairies.
The decision to release the album as a Pink Fairies album rather than a Larry Wallis album was made by label boss Ted Carroll in the belief it would sell more copies. Wallis: "I wanted Ted Carroll to do a Larry Wallis album, but Ted said if we called it the Pink Fairies it would sell more. So that's why we called it the Pink Fairies. But I would only do it if it was called PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED and if the personnel weren't listed. I don't feel like a Pink Fairy anymore. When I was twenty-three and had patchwork boots and long hair I felt like a Fairy. But that's all history. Anyway, somebody in the music press spotted what we'd done right away. He said, 'Shouldn't this be called PREVIOUSLY UNRECORDED?'" Duncan Sanderson (ex-Pink Fairies) and George Butler (both ex-Lightning Raiders) played on it. "When it came out, me and Sandy went wild. I'll tell ya what's weird though - Ted Carroll's got a shop and he never even put that sleeve in his f**king window. That record wasn't released. It escaped."[1] In addition, although released as a 12" 33RPM LP, it actually played at 45RPM making it more of an EP.
The album contains "As Long As The Price Is Right" which had previously been issued as a single by Dr. Feelgood.
