ReplyDeleteSilk Torpedo is the seventh album by the English rock band Pretty Things. This is their second album without Wally Waller, the group's rhythm guitarist/bassist since 1967.
The album has more of a glam rock feel, a contrast from their early R&B years and their psychedelic years.
The album was the first to be released in the UK on the Swan Song Records label.
The album is the second rock opera by The Pretty Things, after S.F. Sorrow (1968), and follows the story of an unnamed protagonist throughout major points in his life.
The band has not offered much explanation of the narrative, potentially leaving its meaning open to interpretation.
