Best album of 1970, one of the greatest psychedelic albums of all time.

Here's a version of on of the songs off the album with a fantastic solo by Pete Tolson. Keep in mind the album version is only about two minutes long if I recall correctly. This version is also much more in a hard rock vein than most of Parachute.

So..anyone downloaded this yet? I can't imagine it's that hard to find on the bigger torrent sites. Of course I have no idea how those places work, so maybe it is.

Fuck, I misread the band's name as Parachute, not Pretty Things. :x

Thanks for the link.

It's somewhat similar, although Parachute has more of a heavy, early 70s feel to it (probably because it was made in '70).

yea pretty much what bard d said. parachute is def more of a fuller-sounding rock record with more electric guitars and grooves. less trippy, rhythmic, and varied than sf sorrow. vocals are much more prominent too. love both of em

Sounds like I will have to get SF Sorrow. I'll be listening to this band this summer for sure. Good stuff.
