The Pretty Things were an English R&B and Beat band from London, formed in 1963. They disbanded in late 2018. In September 2020, less than half a year after Phil May's death, the band released a final acoustic album featuring recordings from 2019.

Originally consisting of Phil May, Dick Taylor, Brian Pendleton, John Stax, and Viv Prince, The Pretty Things made their mark on the music scene with their unique sound. Over the years, they evolved and went through lineup changes but continued to captivate audiences with their music.

With Phil May's powerful vocals leading the way and the talented musicianship of Dick Taylor, Frank Holland, George Woosey, and Jack Greenwood in their final lineup before disbanding; The Pretty Things left behind a legacy that will forever be remembered in the world of music.

The legendary 60s RnR upstarts’ cherished second album from 1965 featuring 6 bonus tracks and liner notes including the singles “L.S.D.”, “Midnight To Six Man”, “Cry To Me” and “Come See Me”. This mid-price CD edition of ‘Get the Picture?’ is presented in digipack packaging and complete with an 8-page booklet featuring liner notes from renowned journalist and editor Paul Du Noyer 

December 1965 'Get The Picture' - The Pretty Things certainly did with this follow up to their debut album of the same year. The band were getting wilder and the music getting better, with two remarkable singles 'Midnight To Six Man' and 'Come See Me'. The Pretty Things were formed by Phil May and guitarist Dick Taylor in 1963. Taylor was hot from the first days of the Rolling Stones, the band he formed with Mick Jagger and Keith Richard, but left because it was time to go to art school; May was a hooligan disguised as a fellow student; and the rest of the band just picked things up from there. Other bands played R&amp;B, of course... the Kinks, the Yardbirds, even the Beatles tried their hand at it. But none of them played it like the Pretty Things. Their hair was long, their music was greasy, and they genuinely did not understand how to turn down the volume on their amplifiers. Listed among the composing credits on 'Get The Picture' is one Jimmy Page, the most in demand session guitarist of the era.
