THE PRETTY THINGS"GET THE PICTURE?"

AN ORIGINAL UK PHILIPS PRESSED FONTANA 1965 LP WITH THE ROUGH TEXTURED LABELS HOUSED IN A LAMINATED FRONT COVER.

THE RECORD IS NOT BRILLIANT BUT PLAYS WELL,FULLY DESCRIBED BELOW AND THE COVER IS GREAT SO MIGHT BE IDEAL FOR A MIX AND MATCH IF YOUR COVER IS POOR! 

This was a poor selling album at the time and I am sure it was deleted within a year of issue which explains it's rarity in 2010 although of course there have been a few reissues over the years!

The Pretty things were far rougher and wilder than the Rolling stones and even The Who.

The record company did not give this LP much publicity and it was far too noisy for the BBC!

The band would go on to be a major rock act in the USA.

I HAVE ONLY FOUND ONE ORIGINAL COPY BEFORE IN NEARLY 25 YEARS OF RUNNING MY SHOP AND IT WAS IN SIMILAR CONDITION!   

It only turns up only once in a blue moon as an original issue but PLEASE READ THE GRADING DESCRIPTION VERY CAREFULLY ON THIS ITEM WHICH IS WAY BELOW MY USUAL STANDARDS BUT MOST BE WELL WORTH IT AS A GAP FILLER UNTIL A BETTER ONE COMES ALONG WHICH MAY BE AN EXPENSIVE AND RARE CHANCE TO HAPPEN.  

THE DISC HAS MANY MANY MARKS AND SOME SCUFFS BUT ALTHOUGH THERE IS SOME SURFACE NOISE,SOME MINOR SHORT LIVED CLICKS,SOME SLIGHT DISTORTION AT A FEW OF THE PEAKS AND THE SURFACES LOOK BLOODY AWFUL,IT ONLY PHYSICALLY JUMPS TWICE ON THE TRACK"I WANT YOUR LOVE"AND GENERALLY PLAYS REALLY WELL WITH LOTS OF DEEP BASS AND OF COURSE THE LOUDNESS OF THE MUSIC COVERS UP MOST OF THE SURFACE NOISE.

I PLAYED IT THROUGH ON TWO DIFFERENT DECKS ABOUT 4 TIMES AND TAKING ALL OF THE ABOVE IT PLAYS REALLY WELL,FAR BETTER THAN THE INITIAL INSPECTION WOULD SUGGEST!

NORMALLY SUCH COPIES ARE THROWN OUT BY ME,WITH JUST THE COVER RETAINED FOR FUTURE USE BUT AS EXCELLENT OR EVEN NEAR MINT COPIES ARE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND,FETCHING AT LEAST £100,I CONSIDER THIS COPY TO BE WELL WORTH HAVING IN THE MEANTIME AND IN BETWEEN TIME!!!

BETTER THAN NOTHING AND WITH A VERY TEMPTING AND REALISTIC £10 START!

JUST TO HAVE THE MOODY AND MAGNIFICENT COVER IS WELL WORTH A TENNER!!!   

Here is your chance to get one of the rarest BEAT LPs of 1965 and indeed the last 45 years! 

THE LAMINATED FRONT COVER HAS A SCUFF ACROSS THE CENTRE+ SOME TINY EDGE CREASES,SOME STAINING AT THE BACK BUT NO WRITING,RIPS OR REPAIRS!

COULD BE A GREAT INVESTMENT EVEN IN THIS CONDITION!  

 MOST WERE OFTEN PLAYED ON POOR QUALITY EQUIPMENT AND A FAVOURITE FOR PARTIES TO SATISFY DIFFERENT MOODS!

THE TRACKS ARE AS FOLLOWS:

YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME

BUZZ THE JERK

GET THE PICTURE?

CAN'T STAND THE PAIN

RAININ' IN MY HEART

WE'LL PLAY HOUSE

YOU'LL NEVER DO IT BABY

I HAD A DREAM
