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).
@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 ...)
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. :-))
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.
One of my favourite bands of all time
