The Pretty Things were one of the most underrated rhythm & blues bands to come out of the mid-60's British rock explosion.
So well-loved by Brits, they were often thought of in the same breath as The Rolling Stones.
And, like a lot of great rhythm & blues based groups to come put of England, they stepped somewhat uneasily into the precarious psychedelic music explosion.
However, in all fairness, The Pretty Things did come up with a pretty fine and original album, Emotions.
Superbly well-orchestrated (especially the gorgeous "The Sun," one of the album's standouts), The Pretty Things didn't lose sight of their R&B leanings, as tracks such as "There Will Never Be Another Day" show.
This reissue is also buttressed by a generous selection of bonus tracks seven of 'em - making it even more worthwhile.
