The Pretty Things were formed by Dick Taylor and Phil May in 1963. Dick Taylor had been playing with Mick Jagger in a band called Little Boy Blue and the Blue Boys and later played bass in The Rolling Stones with Mick, Keith Richards, Brian Jones and Ian Stewart. Dick Taylor left the Rolling Stones after a short period of time because he was tired of playing bass and wanted to focus on art. Dick Taylor met Phil May while attending art school and formed The Pretty Things. Fast forward a few years and The Pretty Things release S.F. Sorrow, a quintessential psychedelic rock record that features some of the best sounding fuzz guitar that the psychedelic rock revival groups of today would kill to recapture.
