Product Info
It was late August in 1969 when Phil May and Wally Waller were flown to St. Tropez by Philippe DeBarge (an eccentric French wealthy playboy), and taken to the DeBarge family estate - a magnet for the rich and famous of the era, from politicians to film and rock stars. DeBarge had serious money and wanted to make a serious album, with him as the front man. He'd done his research. He knew exactly who he wanted to make that album with. They were The Pretty Things.
At this time, songwriters May and Waller were at their most prolific but they were between albums, between tours. When DeBarge came calling, it was hard to come up with a good reason why not to go, so they went, did the deal and soon penned and recorded Philippe's project back in London at Nova Studios. And when 'S.F. Sorrow' sales picked up, EMI wanted a new album and 'Parachute' took over. The Philippe DeBarge project was dropped and didn't see commercial release until 2009.
