The Pretty Things

The Pretty Things was an English rock band formed by Dick Taylor who was originally from The Rolling Stones. The Pretty Things were a blues-rock band up until their 1967 release Emotions. But it was their 1968 album S.F.Sorrow that would feature the Mellotron in most of its tracks as well as being one of the first rock opera albums.

After S.F.Sorrow, Dick Taylor left The Pretty Things and Phil May would lead the band until their break-up in 1976. However, the Pretty Things still remained a progressive rock band until 1970's album Parachute.
