PRETTY THINGS 'Singles '64-68' Double LP (US, Sundazed, Catalogue #LP 5234) Brand new/unplayed copy of SOLD OUT/OUT OF PRINT limited year 2008 Sundazed label Double LP vinyl edition/collection of raw r&b inspired rock and psych singles (UK and US issued singles), circa 1964-1968 by still-going-strong UK legends The Pretty Things.
(NOTE: SOLD OUT/OUT OF PRINT/LIMITED VINYL EDITION!)
The Pretty Things never made it to America in the 1960s. While their contemporaries were touring the States, building brand recognition and laying the foundation for longterm careers in the business, the Pretty Things were toiling in clubs and concert halls across Europe, or -- more bizarrely -- attempting to conquer New Zealand (they succeeded only in outraging it). Whether through bad judgment, bad timing or simple bad luck that vital mid-60s U.S. tour never happened.
But somehow word still got around, and for those in the know the Pretty Things became a secret touchstone, their image and their music signifying the wildest and most exciting extremes of the English sound. Despite their low profile, the Pretty Things had an impact on countless American garage bands from the Seeds to MC5.
The blinding, sometimes visceral power of the Pretty Things can be heard on their early singles, an incredible four-year run that saw them evolving from raw-edged R&B rave-ups ("Rosalyn," "Don't Bring Me Down"), through hard riffing Mod-flavored rock ("Midnight to Six Man," "Come See Me"), melodic pop experiments ("Children," "My Time"), sometimes bending against their will to commercial pressures: ("Progress"), to daring psychedelic pioneers ("Defecting Grey," "Talkin' About the Good Times"). Few groups mastered so many genres so convincingly, nor with as much passion, conviction and bold creativity. They were, are, and continue to be THE BEST.
