#OnThisDay #remembering Philip Dennis Arthur May (born Wadey, later Kattner; 9 November 1944 – 15 May 2020)
#PhilMay ’s snarling vocals and rebellious persona helped make his band, the #PrettyThings an influential part of the #60s British scene.
#NowPlaying a 2025 2LP pressing of The Pretty Things' eponymous debut album live at The 100 Club. Brilliant group.

The Pretty Things' first single, "Rosalyn", was released in May of 1964 and charted #41 in the UK. A woefully underrated band. We'll be hearing much more for them down the line. #PrettyThings #FontanaRecords #GarageRock #Mod #freakbeat #PhilMay
