The Pretty Things -

Originally an offshoot of the primordial Rolling Stones, lead guitarist Dick Taylor broke away to form the Pretty Things in 1962. Securing a major label deal within months of their inception, the band attracted press attention with their unfettered power and controversial, unkempt appearance, their raunchy style of R&B spawned a run of successful releases. By 1967, The Pretty Things had become immersed in the underground psychedelic scene, developing a more harmony-led, experimental sound. Continuing to play live and record throughout the 80s and 90s, The Pretty Things continue their evolution as an enduring musical force.
