Tracklisting & More Information

Not only did this challenge the Stones on the British R&B front, it probably beat them. If ever a band deserved to be huge, it was The Pretty Things, but a combination of circumstances conspired against them and thwarted their rightful place as superstars at the time.
From this very first outing to their latest and last recordings, this band have always produced quality output and are perhaps now finally getting the respect they'd always deserved.

Condition:
This is a lovely one previous owner example, obtained from a private collection of sixties & seventies Rock, Beat, Psych & Prog rarities, mainly of the British variety. The cover retains beautiful, tight laminate & the spine is unmarked & clearly legible. The back slick is unblemished & remains largely off white with nothing that affects the print. A stunning example, we would grade the cover Excellent - they do not come much better than this!

The matrices in the run-outs are machine stamped '1L/1' & '2L/1'. The labels are stunning Near Mint & reveal little evidence of play by the centre hole.

The vinyl remains in staggering condition. We have professionally cleaned both sides on a top of the range Matrix machine. The vinyl shows barely any signs of play leaving it between Excellent and Near Mint - we doubt there are many copies as nice as this still out there.

A stunning copy indeed of this remarkable debut album, not to be missed.
