PRETTY THINGS - S.F. Sorrow LP doom pop choruses drown in fast-actingSometimes one gets an echo of Pink Floyd's Piper at the Gates of Dawn or A Saucerful of Secrets, and it all straddles the worlds of British blues and British psychedelia better than almost any record you can name.

An all time UK psych classic!
