Never Never Land is the 1971 debut album by the UK underground group Pink Fairies.
Polydor Records commissioned the group to record a single, "The Snake"/"Do It", and were happy enough with the results to offer the group an album contract. A promotional film was recorded for the single on the set of Oliver!, but the single was omitted from this debut album. The b-side, "Do It", did appear but with added overdubs. "Do It" was later covered by the Henry Rollins Band on their Do It album.
The sleeve came in a printed PVC cover, with an inner gatefold sleeve depicting two different scenescapes, and a printed inner sleeve with a photograph of the band.
200 copies were also pressed on pink vinyl the same year. Initial pressings credited the full band as songwriters on all songs. Later pressings list drummer Twink (John Alder) as songwriter for "Heavenly Man", "War Girl", "Thor", and "The Dream is Just Beginning".
