Saw an excerpt of what was taking place in London & Liverpool mid 63 ,shot in 16mm b&w by a friend of the late Jack Paar that was aired on his show..The Beatles were the main feature of course but then their were these,these..... "Pretty Things" - already wearing their hair down to the shoulder ! I was 9 at the time & thought whatever the age appropriate equivalent of WTF !

@mrbag60 I agree. They're giants. Same as the NY Dolls. Most of them dead like Johnny Thunders - a genius.

@mrbag60 reincarnation babe...

@mrbag60 bad distribution of their records I believe was the problem

This is the Nirvana of 60s. I'm glad I found TPT. Not all true Legends get the recognition they deserve. TPT for instance.

Indeed...The Pretty Things are most definitely, not knocking on the door ...of the R'n'R Hall Of Lame.
These dudes lived the life they wanted,and got payed for it. Bad managers are a way of life in this business.
Unlike Sir Jogger, whe haven't all got prince Rupert von Löwenstein ,economics professors to take care of our businesses.
And ,as Phil May says."if we HAD gotten our due money,we probably would've been dead by now".♫
How some marginally talented rock bands make serious cash, while some of the great's make no money and are footnotes in history, makes no sense to me. The Pretty Things in the 60's were wilder, louder and just as talented as any British rock band during the time, (the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Who, Yardbirds, Kinks, Pink Floyd, Hollies, etc.) yet have little to show for it, even in their own country. As this performance and their albums indicate that is a crime worthy of induction into the RRHOF.
