PHILLIPE DEBARGE with THE PRETTY THINGS - Rock St. Trop - UK Madfish 180g Press - LISTEN

An excellent, hard-psychedelic album, recorded in 1969 by a French millionaire dreaming of a career as a musician - Phillipe DeBarge, accompanied by the group Pretty Things, then (between the records "S.F. Sorrow" and "Parachute") at the peak of its form. The material only came out in 2009. The music is sensational; somewhat more acoustic than the decidedly rock, psychedelic masterpiece from 1968, but almost as excellent! There is overdrive here, Hammonds, Mellotron, vocal harmonies typical of PT. A 2017 British reissue, on 180-gram vinyl. Sealed. Highly recommended!
