Previously Unreleased is a 1984 album by the English guitarist Larry Wallis, released under the name Pink Fairies. 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 (who would cover "Talk of the Devil" and "Can't Find the Lady" on their Doctor's Orders and Mad Man Blues albums, respectively). That song, and "It's Coming Back Again" were both originally recorded by Wallis for his aborted solo LP for the Stiff label in considerably different form. The album/EP came out while Wallis was playing with Butler and Sanderson in a band with many names, most notably 'The Police Cars' and 'The Love Pirates of Doom' along with second guitarist Andy Colquhoun and was recorded at that time, though without Colquhoun's input. The line-up played many gigs at Dingwalls, once appearing as The Deviants with Mick Farren (vocals) having also been the support band, and later at the Cricketers (Oval) and (once) in Leeds (minus Sanderson). The reformed Pink Fairies (1987) was essentially this combo with Russell Hunter and, for a while, Twink replacing George Butler.
