Winners of the very first Mojo Hero Award, the band have been a massive success \u0026amp; a huge influence on artists as diverse as David Bowie, The Ramones, Bob Dylan, The Sex Pistols, The White Stripes \u0026amp; many more.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This album was to be the band's last for Swan Song \u0026amp; would ultimately lead to the band disbanding later that year following the departure of Phil May. It would be four years before they returned...\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e 'Savage Eye' from legendary British rock band The Pretty Things is available on CD via Madfish.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Madfish","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50469557174603,"sku":"2021675","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/test_21219aed_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727362757","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/savage-eye-3","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
