{"product_id":"parachute","title":"Parachute","description":"Also available in a 3-pack with THE PRETTY THINGS and CROSS TALK.\u003cbr\u003eFollowing the disappointing sales of their ambitious 1968 concept album S.F. SORROW, the Pretty Things lost two of their members--drummer Twink (who went on to join the Pink Fairies) and, more significantly, founder\/guitarist Dick Taylor. Remarkably, though, the remaining members, now light years away from their blues-rock beginnings, pressed on in relatively undaunted fashion with PARACHUTE, another bold Beatle-esque outing. Vocalist Phil May and multi-instrumentalist Wally Allen emerged as the British band's driving force, writing eclectic tunes such as the revved-up \"Miss Fay Regrets,\" the melancholy \"Grass,\" and the psychedelic sing-along \"She Was Tall, She Was High.\" Although critically lauded, the record failed to bring the Pretty Things to a wider audience, essentially sealing the ensemble's fate as a perpetually underappreciated act. While the band would record a few more albums during the 1970s in various incarnations, PARACHUTE is, in many ways, its swan song and deserves to be held in high regard along with S.F. SORROW.","brand":"InnerSleeve","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41914234831013,"sku":"636551896412","price":37.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/6007\/1077\/files\/4a6e6773671e941cf49145c1d3a00350.jpg?v=1777702290","url":"https:\/\/www.innersleeve.com\/en-ca\/products\/parachute","provider":"InnerSleeve","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
