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.

Led by founding vocalist &amp; guitarist Phil May &amp; Dick Taylor, The Pretty Things, iconic 1st wave R&amp;B cult heroes, created some of the most exciting &amp; innovative records of the sixties, early seventies &amp; beyond. Winners of the very first Mojo Hero Award, the band have been a massive success &amp; a huge influence on artists as diverse as David Bowie, The Ramones, Bob Dylan, The Sex Pistols, The White Stripes &amp; many more.&lt;p&gt;  A thundering, potent set of songs, The Pretty Things' penultimate release was their first studio album in 7 years &amp; involved a recording process as true as possible to their live sound &amp; roots. Recorded entirely on analogue tape with a Trident Series 80 mixing console, the recordings feature a vintage-edged, cool sound, much in line with their earlier works.&lt;p&gt;  The album takes its title from the opening line of Bob Dylan's 'Tombstone Blues' &amp; is the first album by Phil May &amp; Dick Taylor with their then touring bassist George Woosey &amp; drummer Jack Greenwood &amp; also their first without long-time keyboardist Jon Povey &amp; drummer Skip Alan since 1965's 'Get The Picture?'.&lt;p&gt;  'The Sweet Pretty Things (Are In Bed Now, Of Course...)' from legendary British rock band The Pretty Things is available on CD via Madfish.
