RIP Phil.
Not nearly as well known as they should be The Pretty Things, 'Parachute' & 'S.F. Sorrow' are highly influential records.
Also a Sweeney connection as The Pretty Things recorded 5 library music LPs for De Wolfe under the name Electric Banana, songs were featured on a couple of episodes including 'Loving Arms'. In fact you'll hear their music in the background of many tv shows & films of the 70's.
