Pretty Things

Madfish are proud to present, for the first time in one set, the complete studio album recordings of The Pretty Things. From the bands' chaotic beginnings on their self-titled debut in 1965 through to their more reflective latter day output in Bare As Bone, Bright As Blood, this 13 album box set contains it all. <br/><br/>Led by founding vocalist and guitarist Phil May & Dick Taylor, The Pretty Things, iconic 1st wave R&B cult heroes, created some of the most exciting and innovative records of the sixties, early seventies and beyond. Winners of the very first Mojo Hero Award, the band have been a massive success and a huge influence on artists as diverse as David Bowie, Aerosmith, The Ramones, Bob Dylan, The Sex Pistols, The White Stripes, Kasabian and many, many more. <br/><br/>Invaluable to the development of British music, The Pretty Things have been a critical success who site their outrageous behavior, incandescent stage performances and astonishing catalogue of remarkable, ground-breaking recordings as fundamental in the creation of their own work. Still recordings until the passing of Phil May two years ago, this set follows the bands' journey until those final recordings in 2020. <br/><br/>All albums have been remastered especially for vinyl with original artwork recreated throughout. Within each album comes an individual, album specific 4-page insert with rare photographs and original single sleeves with words from Mike Stax, Dick Taylor and Mark St. John. Fans will also find an exclusive pull-out print of the band in their prime. All this is housed inside a deluxe slipcase style box. <br/><br/>Limited to 1,000 copies worldwide.<br/><br/>Weight: 9,8 kg.
