This song is a masterpiece. Twink and Dick really create an amazing sound here and of course the harmonies are always steller.

This music is the 1968 Abbey Road studio recording of 'Balloon Burning' with Dick Taylor on guitar (as released on the 1968 'SF Sorrow' LP). The video which the music is dubbed/overlaid onto is from a late 1969 live song (version?) with Victor Unitt on guitar (after co-founding band member Dick Taylor temporarily left (for a decade?) in mid/late-1969?). This is the only Pretty Things video footage I've ever seen with Victor Unitt in it (Victor was with the band for a short time in late-1969/mid-1970(?) surrounding the time of the 1970 Abbey Road studio recording of the LP 'Parachute').Note: the video footage is from the hard to bloody find or reasonably-priced acquire documentary about them called "Midnight to Six Man'. God knows what song they are actually playing on the footage..

Completamente de acuerdo con tus datos, habría que confrontar el vídeo con alguna otro tema ya que desde luego no se corresponde con el audio. Salud.

Vic Unitt was originally in the Edgar Broughton Blues Band. After leaving the Pretty things, he returned to the Broughtons and played on 3 of their albums.

Yes, that's Victor Unitt, for certain. He never played on this song. I had a conversation with Phil May when they played at a local pub in the 1980s (Sully's, Dearborn, Michigan), and he told me that at that time, "Vic is working in a shoe store, selling ladies shoes. . . . Now, he ain't no pretty boy! He just sells shoes."

Criminally underrated band. I love this... in 1969, the "Abbey Road" year.

Loudest band I ever heard at the Country Club in Camden London. Twink on the drums and my ears were ringing for three days after. Worth it though.
