The Pretty Things - The Psychedelic Years 1966-1970

“

Top of the line 35 song anthology of the Pretty Thing's most vital era,like the title reads,their psych years.Many of these tracks are pulled from their key lp's,like 'Get The Picture?'('65),'Emotions'('67),'S.F.Sorrow'('68)and 'Parachute'('70)plus a few singles and several live cuts performed at the Abbey Road studio,such as "I See You","Well Of Destiny","Alexander" and "Baron Saturday"(have always liked Twink's version of this tune).Nearly every tune here is a winner,but the ones I found myself playing over and over were "She Says Good Morning","L.S.D.","October 26","Can't Stand The Pain","Walking Through My Dreams" and "One Long Glance".Line-up:Phil May-vocals,Dick Taylor-guitar,John Povey-rhythm guitar,Wally Waller-bass and Skip Alan-drums.Should appeal to fans of the Byrds,Small Faces,The Creation,Yardbirds and The Action.Highly recommended.
