    THE PRETTY THINGS – ‘CROSS TALK’ HAS BEEN REMASTERED & BACK IN PRINT ON CD

    Led by founding vocalist & guitarist Phil May & Dick Taylor, The Pretty Things, iconic 1st wave R&B cult heroes, created some of the most exciting & innovative records of the sixties, early seventies & beyond.

    Winners of the very first Mojo Hero Award, the band have been a massive success & a huge influence on artists as diverse as David Bowie, The Ramones, Bob Dylan, The Sex Pistols, The White Stripes & many more.

    The band first burst onto the scene in 1965 with a blend of raw, explosive R&B. Over the course of several albums, they evolved their sound, highlighted by the release of the first ever rock opera ‘S.F. Sorrow’.

    They followed this with a string of albums which secured the band a firm & loyal fanbase.

    ‘Cross Talk’ was to be the triumphant return of the Pretty Things.

    The band had been dormant for more than three years, but in 1979, Phil May & Pete Tolson started writing together again & with the help of Dave Gilmour recorded some demos.

    Pulling together an A-team Pretty Things line-up of Pete Tolson, Wally Waller, Jon Povey, Skip Alan, & making his return to the fold after ten years away, founding member Dick Taylor. The boys were back.

    Released in August 1980, ‘Cross Talk’ marked a brave new sound for the Pretty Things. Not for the first time they had completely reinvented themselves & in doing so created one of their defining albums.

    ‘Cross Talk’ was also a starkly personal statement for Phil May as a lyricist. May considered ‘Cross Talk’ to be among his proudest artistic achievements; its commercial failure remained one of his bitterest disappointments.
