In those days, the media was evidently more interested in looking at the audience than they were in the band. At around this time (circa 1964/5) I attended a powerful concert by this unique band at the 100 Club in London. An experience indelibly imprinted on my memory ever since. Singer Phil May was a one-off phenomenon with a presentation style all his own and in doing so, made the band very exciting to watch . It's such a pity the Pretty Things were denied the exposure that the Rolling Stones had during this period...and therein lies a tale to be told.

The change in music and style from '60-'65 is incredible. You got your early '60s nerdy, goody-two-shoes, all wearing suits, with gaping smiles upon their faces the entire song, to this: protopunk, the long hair, raw sound, attitude, the crowd is pretty much starting a mosh pit/fighting at 2:45, amazing. LOVE the mid-60s music. Hard to believe these people if still alive are in their late 70s nowadays!

This band is so underrated! Their S.F.Sorrow album is just as good as the best albums of the day yet here in america i never heard 1 song from it till after parachute was released in 1970 a good album but no where near the Sorrow album. Maybe Sorrow got some airplay on the coasts i dont know but in middle america nothing. Perhaps someone out there can tell me if you ever heard the S.F.Sorrow album on the radio back then. We were Motowned to death here. Still are on any oldies stations. I like a lot of motown songs but british invasion is so overlooked in middle america other than the huge groups. There were so many bands like the pretty things that got no airplay. Status quo is another one. Other than pictures of matchstick men never heard their stuff. Ma kellys greasy spoon was a terrific album that got no airplay. Any of you coasters tell me if you got to hear some of these lesser known groups on the radio? So much great music i had to work at to find when i would see a used record store in whatever city i was in during my traveling time in the 70s. I wore out 2 hard to find S.F.sorrow albums thats why when spotify came out i was delighted to find stuff i hadnt heard in years. Though im now 68 years old my car is usually blaring a pretty things album or a status quo album everyday not to mention a lot of other old forgotten great bands, like Love, grapefruit, the idle race... What a brief moment in time with so many talented bands!
