		A disparate bunch of art student malcontents, brought together in one unholy collision of no holds barred ‘60s rhythm ‘n’ blues and self-expression, the Pretty Things were the most extreme band of their day.
		DON’T BRING ME DOWNUNDER is a must read, not just for Pretty Things fans, but for anyone fascinated by an era when rock ‘n’ roll was not only outrageously FUN but also a force of subversion and ultimately liberation for an entire generation of young people around the world.

	Pretty Things - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pretty Things was preceeded by Little Boy Blue and the Blue Boys which consisted of Dick Taylor, fellow Sidcup Art College student Keith Richards and Mick Jagger.
		Their early material was hard-edged blues-rock influenced by Bo Diddley (they took their name from Diddley's 1955 song "Pretty Thing" in humerous contrast to their unkempt long-haired appearance) and Jimmy Reed, much like that of their contemporaries The Stones and The Yardbirds.
		The Pretty Things were among the many band and artists that employed session drummer Bobby Graham, who played on their first two albums.

		Dirty Pretty Things is the band fronted by former member of The Libertines, Carl Barât.
		A four-piece band from Salisbury had been playing as "Dirty Pretty Things" since early January of 2005, claiming to have already copyrighted the name in the UK [2]; the two groups ended up coming to an agreement over the name.
		Dirty Pretty Things began recording their first album in Los Angeles, California, with high-profile producer Dave Sardy (producer of the Oasis album Don't Believe the Truth), and in Glasgow, Scotland with producer Tony Doogan.

	The Pretty Things: Come See Me: The Very Best of the Pretty Things - PopMatters Music Review
		At its best, the Pretty Things combined the irony of the Stones, the brashness of the Who and the swagger of the punk-rock movement that was to come years later, creating a sloppy, revved-up rock and roll that helped set the stage for much of what was to come later.
		Second, and perhaps more important, the Pretty Things were not interested in just trying to imitate American blues and soul, as some of their British cousins were doing.
		The Pretty Things actually beat Pete Townshend and the Who to the punch, releasing SF Sorrow in 1968, acknowledged as the first rock opera.

	Pretty Things interview
		Still considered by many as the original bad boys of rock 'n' roll (first English band to get busted for drugs) the Pretty Things are also the most unheralded of their peers.
		Which is when I sat down with Pretty Thing co-founder Dick Taylor to have a beer and hear the bands story.
		One thing he always said to me when he really got buried under was the Rolling Stones were actually his band.

		Dirty Pretty Things, Frears's new film, is also about London, and about the people who migrate to it from abroad hoping to escape persecution or one day to become millionaires.
		Things get worse still when Okwe stumbles across an illicit organ-transplant racket at his hotel and begins to learn how many of his fellow Londoners are prepared to swap their insides for a British passport.

	Wally Waller Interview
		The Pretty Things line-up began to disintegrate at the end of 1966 and the beginning of 1967, as first Brian Pendleton and then John Stax left the group.
		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.
		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.

	Pretty Things Chapter
		The Pretty Things were front-line pioneers of not just one, but two major styles of British rock, playing blues-RandB-rock with a savage power second to none in the mid-1960s, then taking experimental psychedelia into the stratosphere in the latter part of the decade.
		The Pretty Things' musical force is still easy to appreciate on their early recordings, but the shock and outrage inspired by their live performances and very appearance is less easily grasped today.
		The Pretty Things were among London's wildest ravers, and particularly renowned for the parties held at their abode at 13 Chester Street, where the Rolling Stones' Brian Jones also lived for a time, coming up from the basement to listen to records.

	Pretty Things Biography
		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.
		The name Pretty Things was chosen with a certain sarcastic glee, in homage to Bo Diddley and as a challenge to those who would deride the musicians' long-haired appearance.
		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 Pretty Things were certainly an entertaining and mildly recommendable band at every stage of their career, but at every stage of their career they also managed to drag behind the Beatles and the Stones, always trying to catch up but hardly even making number three in the race (only S.
		The Pretties are really one unjustly forgotten band: having achieved no success with their gritty blend of R'n'B and having effectively reinvented themselves as one of swinging London's coolest psycho outfits, they achieved even less success.
		It's interesting to compare where the Pretty Things were in relation to the Stones in 1974: definitely more contrived and having lost quite a bit of the original "primal energy" which the Stones still had a lot of, but, at the same time, more daring and tastefully subtle when it actually came down to composing.

	All-Reviews.com Movie/Video Review: Dirty Pretty Things
		These are the people who work in the background, doing the minimum-wage work that others shun, and if illegal aliens working off the books, often exploited both sexually and materially by their employers.
		"Dirty Pretty Things" is even better than Frears's best known works, "Sammy and Rosie Get Laid" (about the lives of a couple with an open sexual relationship thrown into disarry) and "My Beautiful Launderette" (about what happens when two young friends take over a beat-up launderette) only partly from the skill of the lead actors.
		Without illuminating race relations or the general economic state of Britain, "Dirty Pretty Things" focuses on the way immigrants are treated, particularly those without papers, and thus resonates throughout the prosperous Western world where Turks do the dirty work in Germany, Algerians in France, and Africans in Great Britain.

	Dirty Pretty Things (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		If there is one attribute that runs as a common thread throughout this varied and accomplished oeuvre it's the ability to tell a solid story grounded in equally solid characterizations.
		The focused screenplay by Steve Knight has an unapologetic agenda, laying out the ugliness of a system in which desperate refugees, fleeing from social, economic, or political oppression, are cast in a state of limbo, with no rights, regulated by a hostile bureaucracy and exploited by sweat shop employers, sexual predators, and shady operators.
		Dirty Pretty Things makes an eloquent case for the plight of illegals, a message delivered without preaching, but couched in the form of first-class movie entertainment.
