| | Wally Waller Interview |
 | | In 1978, the Pretty Things line-up of May/Taylor/Allen/Povey/Alan reunited for one show in Holland, a gig which was subsequently bootlegged for the Live '78 album, much to the consternation of the musicians involved. | | | The addition of Wally Allen and John Povey to the Pretty Things marked the beginning of a new era for the band, and the revitalised line-up went on to record some of the most compelling work of the period. | | | The basic tracks were down, they needed other things on top of them; but there were certain other tracks that totally had to be recorded, and that applied to all the stuff that Phil and I had wrote together. |

| | Pretty Things interview |
| | PSF: The Pretty Things influenced a lot of the English punk bands of the '70's. | | | Formed in London in 1963 by Phil May (lead vocals) and Dick Taylor (guitar) The Pretty Things rode the crest of post-Beatles British Invasion bands with an unrivaled reckless attitude. | | | Like the first album (reissue of the 1965 LP The Pretty Things) has got an enhanced CD and its got a video on it. |

| | His first recording with the Pretty Things was "Midnight to Six Man," a single released at the end of the year right after the LP. | | | Although their commercial success was limited, the Pretty Things were able not only to survive, but to evolve from R&B punks to psychedelic vanguards to 1970s hard rockers and beyond. | | | Record Mirror aptly described The Pretty Things as "a lively album which although it is rough at the edges proves the Things to have a great deal to offer." The album was a strong seller, climbing to #6 in the U.K. that spring. |

| | The band's signature pop harmonies and wry lyrics bring a pleasantness to even the sad songs (of which there are several), and their love affair with classic guitar rock hasn't yet waned. | | | "Certain people in the band had gone through breakups and various things were happening to everybody, so we were in a bit of a slump. | | | "Until last Christmas, the stuff we were working on was all acoustic guitar or piano-based, and pretty sour," he says. |

| | About Pretty Things --1999 |
| | An indestructible life form, the Pretty Things in 1999 feature the 1966 line up of: Phil May on lead vocals, co-founder Dick Taylor on guitar, Jon Povey on keyboards, Wally "Waller" Allen on bass, the unpredictable Skip Alan on drums, and recently added guitarist Frank Holland. | | | In little more than a year, Pretties fans have been treated by Snapper Music to remastered, bonus track packed editions of the band's musical history. | | | A new album, RAGE BEFORE BEAUTY, shows that the Pretties are still spitting fire and brimstone, at a time when most of the bands they grew up with can barely spit out their dentures. |

| | But somehow in 1980 the Pretties came out with and blend of all of their past influences, and made perhaps one of the finest never heard records of the Punk era. | | | With typical "Pretties" timing and style, the album has taken almost all of that time to produce, the first cuts having been recorded in 1981. | | | Rage
Before Beauty is the first new studio album from the legendary "Pretty Things" for almost 20 years. |

| | By '67 the Pretties had shifted to flower power: "The Sun" is sweet regret with strings a la Love, and "Death of a Socialite" evokes experimental early Floyd riding on briskly strummed acoustic guitar. | | | Back in the early and mid '70s when Cleveland's WMMS was a revolutionary radio station, a record came in by a glammy sort of hard rock band called the Pretty Things. | | | The album Silk Torpedo, on Zep's Swan Song label, wasn't super consistent but had some hot songs in "Dream/Joey," "Maybe You Tried" and "Singapore Silk Torpedo." |

| | The band's performances of material by Chuck Berry, Jimmy Reed and Bo Diddley (they took their name from a Diddley song) were at first considered more outrageous than the Stones, especially when their second U.K. chart single, Don't Bring Me Down was banned in the U.S. in '64 because of objectionable lyrics. | | | Taylor, after playing bass with the original Rolling Stones, switched to guitar to form The Pretty Things with May in '63. | | | he Pretty Things were a British blues rock band that was highly regarded in the U.K. but scarcely made an impression in the U.S. The band was formed from lunchtime jam sessions at London's Sidcup Art College where vocalist Phil May, bassist Dick Taylor and Keith Richards were enrolled. |

| | Directed by Stephen Frears; written by Steven Knight; photographed by Chris Menges; edited by Mick Audsley; production designed by Hugo Luczyc-Wyhowski; music by Nathan Larson; produced by Tracey Seaward, Robert Jones. | | | By the end of "Dirty Pretty Things," we feel -- with a good deal of sympathy and conviction -- what it's like to experience this kind of besieged life, one step ahead of the law, at the mercy of shady elements. | | | The script and cast here give him lots of room for shrewd portraiture and incisive commentary. |

| | filmcritic.com Movie Review: Dirty Pretty Things |
| | Frears offers a commentary track on the Dirty DVD. | | | The same might be said of the film itself, which is part melodrama, part social critique, and part black comedy all rolled into one delectably grimy treat. | | | When Okwe infiltrates a local hospital with the help of a friendly crematorium porter, the fake ID he’s given looks nothing like him, to which the porter replies: “Black is black.” According to the film, most of the city views those like Okwe as interchangeable cattle, primarily useful as spare parts for the capitalist machine. |

| | Pretty Things resurrects the glory days of these women through long-hidden private archives of film clips, photographs, costume sketches, and exclusive interviews with a supporting cast of burlesque costume designers and comedians. | | | Alhough Goldwyn's subjects have mostly faded from public recollection, they were once headlining across the country, racking up column inches, "stage-door johnnies" - and sometimes police rap sheets. | | | These routines are shot in evocative black-and-white by the film's principle cinematographer, renowned documentarian Albert Maysles. |
