The band first burst onto the scene in 1965 with a blend of raw, explosive R\u0026amp;B, their debut album which reached no. 6 in the UK album charts. Over the course of several albums, they evolved their sound, highlighted by the release of the first ever rock opera 'S.F. Sorrow'.

The album is in line with the times, exuding a more glam rock feel, contrasting from their earlier R\u0026amp;B psychedelic work. A solid album from back to front, it offers a new side to the band, beginning with 'Dream', an instrumental prelude before launching into 'Joey,' a superb combination of piano boogie, crashing drums \u0026amp; melodramatic choruses draped in Hammond organ. 'Maybe You Tried' is a glittering slice of glam rock with a simply killer guitar hook from Pete Tolson. Stunning album closer 'Belfast Cowboys' displays a fragility not too often heard from the band.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e 'Silk Torpedo' from legendary British rock band The Pretty Things is back in print on CD.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Madfish","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50901460844875,"sku":"2020898","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/test_d75fd9e8_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1732766744"},{"product_id":"balboa-island-2","title":"Balboa Island","description":"\u003cp\u003eLed by founding vocalist \u0026amp; guitarist Phil May \u0026amp; Dick Taylor, The Pretty Things, iconic 1st wave R\u0026amp;B cult heroes, created some of the most exciting \u0026amp; innovative records of the sixties, early seventies \u0026amp; beyond.
