THE PRETTY THINGS - 'SAVAGE EYE' HAS BEEN REMASTERED & IS BACK IN PRINT ON CD.
Led by founding vocalist & guitarist Phil May & Dick Taylor, The Pretty Things, iconic 1st wave R&B cult heroes, created some of the most exciting & innovative records of the sixties, early seventies & beyond. Winners of the very first Mojo Hero Award, the band have been a massive success & a huge influence on artists as diverse as David Bowie, The Ramones, Bob Dylan, The Sex Pistols, The White Stripes & many more.
The band first burst onto the scene in 1965 with a blend of raw, explosive R&B. Over the course of several albums, they evolved their sound, highlighted by the release of the first ever rock opera 'S.F. Sorrow'. They followed this with a string of albums which secured the band a firm & loyal fanbase.
By the time the Pretty Things began work on their second album for Swan Song, a growing darkness had crept into the band. But the most powerful art often feeds on darkness & that was the case with the best songs on 'Savage Eye'. 'Under The Volcano', with its swaggering riff, fiery guitar work & soul-searching lyrics, 'Remember That Boy', a taught, intense rocker. Most powerful of all, 'Drowned Man', a haunting meditation on the death of a friend. In a brighter vein, 'I'm Keeping', an upbeat reggae-flavoured number, was first released as a single in June 1975, more than half a year ahead of the album.
This album was to be the band's last for Swan Song & would ultimately lead to the band disbanding later that year following the departure of Phil May. It would be four years before they returned...
'Savage Eye' from legendary British rock band The Pretty Things is available on CD via Madfish.
