BBC Sessions
2003 two CD compilation from the British Blues rockers featuring 41 tracks including their covers of 'Big Boss Man,' and 'Don't Bring Me Down,' as well as the tracks 'L.S.D.' and 'Buzz The Jerk.' The Pretty Things spent more than their fair share of time at the BBC's radio and television studios, and this jam-packed double disc set offers up the lion's share of their "Beeb" material in strong sound quality and a well-appointed package. Like most BBC collections, these performances sound drier and more stripped-down than the versions most fans are used to, but since "stripped-down" was a thing the Pretty Things did quite well back in the day, this isn't much of a drawback; If you're a Pretties fan, The BBC Sessions will sound like manna from heaven, and if you're just getting your feet wet, it's a fine road map through the nooks and crannies of their music.
