BCB 100 - The Pretty Things

[Snarfyguy]

I'm sure someone over there can bake you something up for your next JU. I only have two Pretty Things CDs anyway.

Album SF Sorrow

Song Baron Saturday

I think I have Parachute as part of a double LP reissue with SF Sorrow, but I can't remember last time I played it. Will dust it off pronto. I also have Emotions, but I only played it once; wasn't too impressed. I'll try to re-investigate.

Yeah...what he said.

Also Parachute is a great album.

Underfamiliar, but on Coan's recommendation (!) (among others), I'm gonna check out Parachute.

...and now I love it so much it's hard to imagine that there was a time not so long ago that I hadn't heard it. Definitely #1 for album. Song could be something from this ("She Was Tall, She Was High" maybe) or "Baron Saturday." Or maybe "Come and See Me." What an amazing band, at least for about 5 years.

Ignored, these days.

The Pretties are treated by some as if they're some consensus BCB love, which they are decidedly not! It's pretty much just five or six of us.

I think that's true. It stands out for some people, so it's always commented on as a big deal, but it's just a small group of people really enjoying a particular thing.

There are probably more than a few closet Pretties fans around here, people who like them but don't really talk about them that much. I'd include myself in that group - i've got 5 albums i think, and really enjoy all of them quite a bit, but because i came to the group later in life they aren't a band i consider among my absolute '60s faves.
