Background notes
Archive material and source history
The Pretty Things formed in 1963 in Sidcup, Kent, with Phil May on vocals and Dick Taylor on guitar. They started as a rhythm and blues band during the British Invasion years, though they never reached the commercial heights of some contemporaries. Their sound evolved to include psychedelic elements, particularly on their 1968 concept album 'S.F. Sorrow'.
Songs like 'In The Square' and 'Parachute' show their range from straightforward rock to more experimental territory. The band went through various lineup changes and periods of activity over several decades, maintaining a dedicated following rather than widespread fame.
They worked with other musicians at times, including David Bowie, but mostly kept to their own path. The Pretty Things' influence can be heard in later garage and psychedelic rock, though they remained something of a cult act throughout their existence.
