TRACKLISTING AND EXTRA INFORMATION
History :-
Working with noted EMI staff producer Norman “Hurricane” Smith (who had engineered the earlier Beatles recordings and produced Pink Floyd’s The Piper at the Gates of Dawn) and house engineer Peter Mew, The Pretty Things created one of the great, lasting Psychedelic LPs, following in the vein of The Beatles. The group experimented with the latest sound technology, including the Mellotron and early electronic tone generators, often employing gadgets and techniques devised on the spot by Abbey Road’s technicians. The results continue to fascinate to this day.

The sleeve shows light signs of wear with no tears, splits or major defects easily attaining a VG grade and perhaps beyond.
The inner sleeve is free from any wear or splits.
The Labels : –
The labels are the much sought after, rough textured blue & black Columbia variety. There are no marks or wear to the label design & there are light spindle marks by the centre hole. The matrices read:
Side One : XAX 3738-1
Side Two : XAX 3739-1
Vinyl : –
The vinyl looks like it has been through the wars with both sides showing numerous scuffs, hairlines and other marks; playback results is light crackle and the odd pop here or there, with no skips or jumps, leaving it graded as G. Again Sixties vinyl wins through! long after we have all gone, these quality pressings will still be going strong.
With Mint copies so expensive, this is a chance to own an original mono copy which despite its shortcomings, plays through and comes with a nice sleeve to boot!
