The Pretty Things - The Sweet Pretty Things (Are In Bed Now, Of Course…) has been remastered and is back in print on CD
Led by founding vocalist and guitarist Phil May & Dick Taylor, The Pretty Things, iconic 1st wave R&B cult heroes, created some of the most exciting and innovative records of the sixties, early seventies and beyond.
Winners of the very first Mojo Hero Award, the band have been a massive success and a huge influence on artists as diverse as David Bowie, The Ramones, Bob Dylan, The Sex Pistols, The White Stripes, and many more.
A thundering, potent set of songs, The Pretty Things’ penultimate release was their first studio album in 7 years and involved a recording process as true as possible to their live sound and roots.
Recorded entirely on analogue tape with a Trident Series 80 mixing console, the recordings feature a vintage-edged, cool sound, much in line with their earlier works.
The album takes its title from the opening line of Bob Dylan’s ‘Tombstone Blues’ and is the first album by Phil May and Dick Taylor with their then touring bassist George Woosey and drummer Jack Greenwood, and also their first without longtime keyboardist Jon Povey and drummer Skip Alan since 1965's Get The Picture?.
