Singapore Silk Torpedo by The Pretty Things (1974)


Guitarist Dick Taylor was in one of the very early versions of the Rolling Stones with Brian Jones and Mick Jagger. He left early on though in 1963 when he hooked up with Phil May to form the Pretty Things. Their new band had some mid-level success in the 60's, but continued to record through the 70's. There have been numerous line up changes over the years, but the core of May and Taylor have performed together as recently as 2013.

The Silk Torpedo album was the first released on Led Zeppelin's new Swan Song label back in 1974. Here is their pseudo-title track.
