A must-have, twenty-six song collection from these once-chums of The Rolling Stones. Covering their years on the Fontana label 1964-66, The Pretty Things are required listening for anyone interested in dissecting the roots of garage punk. David Bowie thought enough of this band to include both "Rosalyn" and "Don't Bring Me Down" on his Pin-Ups all-covers album. More recently, garage acts like Teengenerate ("Midnight To Six Man"), The Nomads ("LSD"), and The M-80's ("Rosalyn") have given their respective nods with rockin' takes of Pretty Things classics. All songs previously mentioned appear on The EP Collection...Plus in their original form. If getting drunk with the R & B rock stylings of the Stones/Yardbirds/Who is your thing, "Get A Buzz" with The Pretty Things. Wednesday, June 9, 2010
