Description: | THE PRETTY THINGS 1972 STUDIO ALBUM NOW REMASTERED & AVAILABLE VIA MADFISH
Led by founding vocalist & guitarist Phil May & Dick Taylor, The Pretty Things, iconic 1st wave R&B cult heroes, created some of the most exciting & innovative records of the sixties, early seventies & beyond. Winners of the very first Mojo Hero Award, the band have been a massive success & a huge influence on artists as diverse as David Bowie, Aerosmith, The Ramones, Bob Dylan, The Sex Pistols, The White Stripes, Kasabian & many, many more.
The band first burst onto the scene in 1965 with a blend of raw, explosive R&B, this, their debut album which reached no. 6 in the UK album charts. Over the course of several albums, they evolved their sound, highlighted by the release of the first ever rock opera â??S.F. Sorrowâ??. They followed this with a string of albums in the 1970's which saw line ups changes & a firm following in the States.
1972â??s â??Freeway Madnessâ?? is the sixth album by the band, recorded without founding member Dick Taylor & long-term bassist Wally Waller. The album was the first for Warner Bros. & marked a change in direction sonically with the Waller on production duties. In retrospect, this feels like the first part of a musical trilogy along with â??Silk Torpedoâ?? and Savage Eye. Phil May & Pete Tolson team up to do most of the writing, with lush harmonies aplenty & an overall more American radio-friendly sound.
â??Freeway Madnessâ?? sits comfortably between the best of American rock of the time & is well worthy of fresh retrospection. - INCL. 4 BONUS TRACKSFreeway Madness is the sixth album by the English rock band Pretty Things. It was released in late 1972 on Warner Bros. Records. It's the second album without founding member Dick Taylor and the first without bassist Wally Waller as a full member, who had been with the band since the band's 1967 album Emotions. |
