PRETTY THINGS - Parachute +6 - UK Madfish Remastered Expanded Edition - LISTEN

A sensational, though until now slightly underrated by me album! In keeping with the spirit of the times, in 1970 the Pretties set off into somewhat more progressive regions, combining the classic (a little acoustic, a little psychedelic) sound of the brilliant 1968 LP "S.F. Sorrow" with early, ambitious hard rock. The result was an excellent, rock, conceptual album (once released by Harvest) which, like every record 'with a key', pleases more and more with every subsequent listen. The American magazine Rolling Stone chose this LP 'album of the year 1970' - it is always some kind of recommendation, isn't it? Additionally six recordings from three great singles from 1970 are included with the CD. An absolute, though still underrated here, canon of classic rock. A remastered edition in a digipak, extended by six tracks. Buy it blind! (JL)
