One of my favourite bands of all time

Tezza

WTF?? Four people DIDN'T like this? What are they, Justin Bieber fans or something? ;-) Like they say, there's no accounting for taste (or lack of it).

[snicky58]

Thank you SO MUCH for sharing this. This has got to be one of my favorite rock and roll songs ever. Listen to that bass! A great example of how much a really good bass player and bass line can add to a song. (My older brother used to play bass -- that's probably the main reason I always notice the bass in music so much. I grew up hearing my brother playing constantly. Fortunately, he happened to be really great at it. :-))

Saw these boys 2 years ago in bristol, my god they were good!Who the fuck are the Stones?!

[snicky58]

@vespamarsden Your Stones comment cracked me up! :-D

I saw the band live last Saturday in Switzerland.

Still Exciting!

I rated this group highly in the 60s and was made up to get all of their signatures sprawling across 1 page of my autograph book when they appeared at New Brighton Tower Ballroom. It must have been about 1964.

Hail to all Things Pretty t-:P

[DirkjeA]

ha Paul, jij had hem dus al gevonden.....lol

[roktiludy]

What the early Rolling Stones should have sounded like.These were guys who could play.Listen to their album "Get the Picture".Didn't the Stones nick Bill Wyman from this group?

[millerfarrsuperstar]

Actually Guitarist Dick Taylor was a Childhood friend of Jagger's....they together w/Keef started "Little Boy Blue & the Blueboys"....along came Guitarist Brian Jones and with Dick Taylor switchin' over to Bass became the earliest version of the Rolling Stones (Dick also showed Keef basically how to play Guitar....)Being an Art Student & not sure where this R n' R "Thing" was headed...Dick left the Group completed his Studies and then formed the PT's w/Fellow Art Student/Vocalist Phil May!!

[PAULLONDEN]

OOH YOU PRETTY THINGS ,YOU DROVE OUR MOTHERS and FATHERS INSANE

[offthetracks]

[gvba02]

One of my first singles, still have it!

What a fantastic clip they made.

[kosinosi]

Viv Prince lives still on ?

[PAULLONDEN]

Yeah Yeah , he lives somewhere in Scotland in an old fisher shed ( read that 2 years ago in an interview with Phil May)

[millerfarrsuperstar]

That's Led Zepplelin's Manager- The "Late" Peter Grant

(who managed the PT's during their Swansong" Label run in the mid-70's) who greets that at the Pub...He passed on shortly after this 1999 Video!

[WoodyOMB]

What a find. Still reckon they has a unique guitar sound. That looks to be folmed in London E1, Brick Lane area??

[marklungo]

I can't believe I'm the only one to comment on this great video, in which the late 90s version of legendary British band The Pretty Things finally make a video for their 1964 debut single. I haven't heard as much of the Pretties as I'd like, but I know that they deserve a lot more financial success than the world will ever give them. The song is as amazing now as it was in '64, and the video is fun.

[chowmange]

Right on! Great tune from a great band. Stackwaddy do a rip up version of this tune.

[SFJonesy]

Yeah, back then you never heard enough of the Pretty Things in the US. Bowie was right on to include a cover of this on his "Pin Ups" collection. But this is the real thing! Thanks!

[snicky58]

@SFJonesy I'm a little young to remember the early Pretty Things era myself, but my husband, who is 62, told me they didn't get that much airplay. He also said that the DJ's sometimes referred to the group as "The Pretties." I really should go and thank my husband for introducing me to their music! Why did the Stones get so much attention, and the Pretties so little?? (Don't get me wrong; I love the Stones, too, but ...)
