The Pretty Things first burst onto the scene in 1965 with an explosive R&B sound far removed from their later Psychedelic and Hard Rock guises.

 

The band's self-titled debut, which mixed raucous covers of blues favourites along with original tracks, reached number 6 in the UK charts. The follow up, Get The Picture, was released later the same year and reflected the band's new found song writing confidence as well as the soul and mod sounds that were influencing the band at the time.

 

This deluxe set also features the singles and b-sides the band released around the time of the albums, including their breakthrough single Don't Bring Me Down and the controversial L.S.D. 

 

This is a Media Book edition featuring re-worked artwork and including liner notes written by journalist Pierre Perrone and band member Dick Taylor.
