The Pretty Things | The Pretty Things [180g Pressing Vinyl Album] LP

180g heavyweight vinyl re-issue of the band’s debut studio album from 1965. Re-cut directly from the original master tapes. The Pretty Things created some of the most exciting and innovative records of the late sixties and early seventies.

Winners of the Hero award at the 2009 Mojo Honours, the band have been name checked over the years by an array of artists ranging from The Clash, David Bowie and Aerosmith through to The Libertines and Kasabian.

The band first burst onto the scene in 1965 with a blend of raw, explosive R&B, this their debut album which reached no.6 in the UK album charts.

Over the course of several albums they evolved into psychedelic pioneers, releasing the first ever rock opera, with SF Sorrow, in 1968. They followed this with 1970’s Parachute, which was named Rolling Stone’s album of the year (ahead of Let It Be, Bridge Over Troubled Water, Atom Heart Mother and Led Zeppelin III). This 180g vinyl edition of the album has been newly re-mastered from the original master analogue tapes by award winning engineer Matt Colton (Mastering Engineer Of The Year 2013 at the MPG Awards)
