Digitally remastered and expanded edition of this 1974 album by the veteran British rockers including seven bonus tracks. Silk Torpedo was one of the Pretty Things milestone albums. The group signed to Led Zeppelins new Swan Song label in 1974, amidst great fanfare. The Led Zep men regarded Phil May & Co. As pioneers of hard rock, and they were keen to advance the career of their '60s heroes. Silk Torpedo was the debut album for the label, and the original release featured 10 songs, written mainly by Phil May with John Povey and Peter Tolson. The liner notes by long-time band manager Mark St. John gives the reader first-hand insight into the history behind the album and the bands movements at the time. The Pretty Things were the also-rans of the British Invasion, a band that never got it's due. Despite this lack of recognition, they were never quite ignored, cultivating a passionate cult that stuck with them through the decades - a cult that was drawn to either their vicious early records, where they sometimes seemed like a meaner version of the Rolling Stones, or to their 1968 psychedelic masterwork S.F. Sorrow. Some of their fans advocate for the entirety of their catalog, noting how the group adeptly shifted with the times. Despite these shifts in style, they rarely racked up hits on either side of the Atlantic.
