The Pretty Things - Mayhem In The BBC (White Trash Soul R&B Series No.4)


It pisses me off that the wildest 60s combo at least in the UK, only has a bunch of BBC live recordings to document their legendary untamed performance. The 15 recordings I've compiled are, as the title suggests, from officially released sources and pretty well recycled over the years. But if you're looking for a place where all their recordings up to 1966 are packed into one place, here's your chance. Not nearly what I've read over the years of the witnesses to their gruesome rituals, but fierce enough for British broadcast, I guess. There's a Dutch TV performance on YouTube, but as far as I know there's never been a proper bootleg release.
