The Pretty Things Parachute
Full Details
The Pretty Things' 1970 Studio Album Parachute on LP.
Following the release of their now-legendary and critically acclaimed 1968 album S.F. Sorrow, The Pretty Things returned to Abbey Road Studios and started work on Parachute. Released in 1970, the album was named Rolling Stone's album of the year ahead of Let It Be by The Beatles, Morrison Hotel by The Doors, After the Gold Rush by Neil Young, Moondance by Van Morrison, Bridge over Troubled Water by Simon & Garfunkel, Pink Floyd's Atom Heart Mother and Led Zeppelin III.
"The Pretty Things always made 'The Stones' look tame" – David Gilmour, Pink Floyd
A record steeped in post-psychedelic British rock, Parachute moves fluidly between melodic invention and lyrical disquiet. Long revered by musicians and critics alike, it remains one of the era's most compelling and underappreciated works.
This 2025 reissue presents Parachute on black vinyl with gatefold packaging.
