#2484 The Pretty Things - Get the Picture?

This is 2nd-tier rough-edged English 60's rock: better than 95% of the bands of the era, but lacking the hooks and swagger to reach the upper echelons. A dozen garagey rollickers spill out, all jangly guitar and yelpy vocals, and it's all charming and spontaneous enough. But some of the songs are underbaked, riding an idea so thin 2 and a half minutes is an overstayed welcome, and there's not a genuine classic in sight 3.5/5
