London, 1963. The British Invasion in all its splendor. American blues came straight to UK and british musicians gave the genre back to USA in their own particular way. Catchy tunes, pure rock that made you shake your hips and sing like crazy. You can call it beat rock, rockabilly, garage rock… all in its esence is the basis of the British Invasion.
Dick Taylor (ex Rolling Stones guitarist) and Phil May formed The Pretty Things in 1963 and they are a clear example of this movement. This song was an UK Single Chart in 1964 and, as a lot of other british tunes, bombarded the american lists.
Discovering the mod culture is more than driving a Lamberetta or wearing a pair of skinny jeans and an army green coat. It is listening to this fantastic music.
Judge yourelf and enjoy the tune.
