The Pretty Things 'Get The Picture?' (1965)
The second Pretty Things is another dose of wholesome R & B snarl. Listen for yourself if you don't believe me.

The Pretty Things 'Defecting Grey' 10" (2000)
A nifty little 10" recorded 1967/68 around the time of 'SF Sorrow' and featuring the amazing "Defecting Grey." A must have!

The Pretty Things (1965)
The Pretty Things debut is a raw, rough and tumble affair full of snarling rhythmn and blues.
Recorded in about two days, and released in March 1965, the Pretty Things' first full-lengther still packs a ferocious punch, easily holding its own against comparable Brit R&B debuts by the likes of the Stones, Them, the Yardbirds and the Animals. Like most first albums it's pretty much the best of their earliest live repertoire, including no less than FOUR Bo Diddley tracks plus nods to Chuck Berry and Jimmy Reed. Early group compositions like "13 Chester Street" and "Unknown Blues" were blues-derived and largely improvised in the studio, but the autobiographical lyrics show they weren't merely aping black stylings but rather using R&B as a basis for their own personal expression. - (Mike Stax) Pretty Things dot net
