PRETTY THINGS Savage Eye (Digipack Edition, Reissue, Remastered + 6 Bonus)

Popis:

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…
