THE PRETTY THINGS - Homeless Singles A’s & B’s 1964-1978 Rosalyn, LSD, Defecting Grey, October 26

Just as Past Masters did for the Beatles, this collects all the non-album singles by The Pretty Things from 1964 to 1978: some of the best R&B, garage rock (23:45), psychedelia (41:34), hard rock (1:05:03) and slow burners (1:16:14). Along the way are many factoids about their career and connection to David Bowie, Bob Dylan, Keith Moon, Pete Townshend, The Rolling Stones, Van Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, The Ramones, The Sex Pistols, The Clash and others. So basically, if one listened to each of the main albums and this video you would hear all the studio material released in the first era under the name The Pretty Things. For most bands that would be nearly everything, but for this band that leaves a wealth of great songs Check out our videos Electric Banana 1967-1978, Turn My Head (songs only done live), Sunshine (1972), Phil May & the Fallen Angels (1978), Wally Waller’s Do It/I Don’t Feel Well (1978/1981) and Lost Late Leftovers. Consider this the tip of a glorious iceberg. For a more detailed chronological history of the band: CORRECTION: I wrote Mike Stax (Ugly Things) instead of John Stax in one section and racuous instead of raucous.
