PRETTY THINGS - Electric Banana Sessions (1967-1969) - AU Enigmatic Edition - LISTEN - VERY RARE

Edition, expanded with instrumental tracks and lasting exactly 80 minutes, of the best (alongside S.F. Sorrow from 1968) material that the group The Pretty Things ever recorded! It is a long story, so in brief... In 1967-1969 the group, which never suffered from an excess of cash, recorded a series of records (one 10-inch - together with recordings by other artists - and two albums) for the music library label de Wolfe. On the first sides of the monophonic vinyls were versions with vocals, and on the second sides - only instrumental tracks. These recordings later appeared as musical illustration in television programmes, low-budget British films and so on. In any case, none of these records ever went on sale (they are now much sought after) and, what is more, they were released under the name Electric Banana (the band's real name was never mentioned)... It is not hard to guess that the band was at the peak of form at the time, and tracks such as Alexander, Eagle's Son or Blow Your Mind (from the LP Even More Electric Banana of 1969) outshine even the legendary S.F. Sorrow! As I already mentioned, the instrumental tracks (mixed in with the vocal versions) have appeared on CD for the first time and this is the best-sounding and most complete edition of "Electric Banana" ever released! To write "an absolute must" is not enough!
