The Pretty Things – The Pretty Things (1965) – Dutch 1st Pressing – BLUE FONTANA LABEL Description: An outstanding, investment-grade copy of the explosive self-titled debut album by The Pretty Things. Released in 1965, this album is a cornerstone of the British Rhythm & Blues movement, delivering a rawer and more aggressive sound than their contemporaries. This specific copy is a verified 1st Dutch pressing, featuring the original blue Fontana label with silver lettering. The matrix number 687 341 and the 670 factory code confirm it was pressed at the renowned Philips plant in Baarn, Netherlands, in 1965. The back cover (as pictured) is remarkably clean, featuring the original liner notes and rare early band photography. Condition (Goldmine Grading): Vinyl: Very Good (VG+) – The record retains a beautiful gloss. It shows some light surface marks/scuffs from play but remains a powerful and clean mono listening experience. Sleeve: Excellent (EX) – The iconic front-laminated sleeve is in superb condition. Vibrant colors on the front, a strong spine, and an exceptionally clean back cover with only very minor signs of age.
