STILL IN FACTORY SHRINK WRAPPER

The 'real deal' = RARE original 1965 first pressing of the legendary very first PRETTY THINGS Lp...
The Pretty Things were scream-teens Gods in the hands of the Rolling Stones, equally as great as ANYTHING the early STONES ever did yet with frantic rave-ups amid melodic infusions...many many bands tried to copy the PRETTY THINGS style & sound, but no one could ever equal them. The PRETTY THINGS first album, is raw British R&B played with swagger and attitude. Think early Stones but with more personality. This and the Who's My Generation are two favorite debuts because both are played with unrestrained abandon. The sense of aggression and good times bleeds thru in the grooves. 
The standard cover versions the Pretties' perform are clearly remade into their own songs. Their foundation for greatness should be recognized as "classic re-wiring."

The mid-60s were fashionable to be the wildest band on the planet. When the Pretties arrived, they were presented as the wildest of all,   no matter Rolling Stones,Who, Kinks, Animals, etc. 
Phil May's vocals are power and toughness (he shouts as a real bad boy) more-so than any of them: Mick Jagger, Van Morrison or Eric Burdon.

The Pretties first producer, Jack Beverstock
head of their label reflected upon the first session: "I'm not staying down there with this bunch of animals!"-- subsequently quitting over the band's behavior and alcoholism. The band had been presented to him as: "Five unruly youths with a passion for rhythm, blues amid random acts of senseless mayhem" so he thought meaning a description of their music.
