The Pretty Things
LP
Here we are-you lucky people...An original FONTANA recording of one of the UK's top beat groups from back in the 60's. In GREAT condition too!! These Lp's were usually taken to wild parties and got scratched, but not this little beauty, she has been well looked after and sounds great, let alone looks great as well!

**A VERY FIRST PRESSING HERE**
The Vinyl: EX-. She does have LIGHT marks to her, but still sounds simply magnificent. HEAVY ORIGINAL VINYL.
Flat and Shiny
Having just had the utter pleasure to listen to her all the way through I found a big grin crossing my face as it sounded so raw and ORIGINAL! I'm not sure if they influenced the Stones or the other way around, but there are sure some distinct similarities.
The sound reproduction is very nice indeed.
Light background noise, which would be severely reduced with a professional clean.

PRETTY THING.
The Label: NMint! W-O-W...Great iconic 60's original TEXTURED FONTANA label. Deep, dark black with shiny silver. Barely a mark on her and only incredibly light spindle marks only visible when actively searching for them and angling towards the light.
The Cover: VG+. ORIGINAL front laminated with flipbacks to the card backing.
LITTLE TO NO FADING
Good strong corners.
Good strong spine (with legible title)
There is some lifting to the laminate to the top left corner and near the spine, other than that the back card is a tad grubby and there are two tiny pin holes. That really is it for the bad points!
NO rips/tears
NO writing
REALLY NICE EXAMPLE.
The Inner: EX. ORIGINAL starred, period inner, with poly-lining. Just light discoluration and a very small amount of feathering to the opening...THAT'S ALL!
She really has done her job in keeping the record in tip-top condition over the last 47 years!
ALL IN ALL THIS IS AN INCREASINGLY RARE RECORD-SHOWING THE REAL UK BEAT MOVEMENT AND INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT TO FIND IN THIS WONDERFUL CONDITION.
