Black Cat Bone

I've just got SF Sorrow and a comp of earlier stuff, so I won't say anything about best album, but "She Says Good Morning" is splendid, one of the best psych pop songs I've ever heard.

Favorite Song - "She Says Good Morning"

Sorry to be a bore, but once again: 'Parachute' is one of the 10 or so finest albums ever made. If you don't own it, buy it today. And if you don't like it, I'll send you a CD of your choice. This is my personal guarantee.

Altho' their best song is 'Sun', off 'Emotions'.

A wonderful, wonderful band who excelled in both R n B and psych. They died very quickly after 'Parachute', tho', unfortunately.

Parachute

Summer Time

Nothing against the Pretties, but you know it can't be too good for a thread when Coan comes out in favor of them so soon...

hard for me to be objective about the pretties. one wonders how their career would have fared had they toured america in the mid sixties?

single midnight to six man
album get the picture

by the way, this is an absolute must read:

Parachute
She's a Lover



Si señor!

I could go on about these guys for hours, but I'll spare you.

Album: Parachute

Song: "Trust", "Mr.Evasion", "Sickle Clowns","Alexander", "Parachute"
(Please choose one- I can't!)

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

Favourite Album: Parachute
Favourite Song: Singapore Silk Torpedo

I do like the Pretty Things and I aso love SF Sorrow but parachute just edges it for me. I also loved their straight ahead rock approach of the mid seventies as well hence my favourite song choice of Singapore Silk Torpedo

I love the Pretty Things. There's three major bands the US missed out on the 60's, the Pretty Things, The Small Faces and The Move. Okay, what was the question?

Oh!

You're not missing all that much, Andy.

Some good songs but basically sub-Stones UK R&B/garage rock mutating into psychedelia and finally ending up with the overrated "rock" album, Parachute.

The Animals were better.

Is that a cough?

Speaking of coughs, did you ever get those Suicide discs I sent you? It must have been a month ago, at least. Or did Pete intercept them?

I like the Animals better too but the Pretty Things could have kicked their asses!!!

album: Emotions
song: Don't Bring Me Down

It's shite.

Can I have ELO's Greatest Hits please?

Aye. Suppose so.

Get 'Parachute', Andy. And ignore Matt Wilson.

Or if you can wait 'til October, I'll give you a copy, and a comp. Great band that are difficult to dislike.

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

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.
