}}<!-- Automatically generated by DASHBot-->'''''These Things Too''''' is the third album by American [[psychedelic folk]] group [[Pearls Before Swine (band)|Pearls Before Swine]], and their first for [[Reprise Records]]. It was released in 1969.<br />
<br />
By early 1969, the original line-up of Pearls Before Swine - which had only ever performed in the studio, never live - was disintegrating around its leader and mainstay, singer and songwriter [[Tom Rapp]]. Original members Lane Lederer and Roger Crissinger had left, and Rapp had married [[Netherlands|Dutch]] traveller Elisabeth Joosten, whom he had met in New York when recording the album ''[[Balaklava (album)|Balaklava]]''.<ref name=sleeve>Sleeve notes to Jewels Were The Stars.</ref> Original member Wayne Harley remained in the group, but left shortly after ''These Things Too'' was recorded.<br />
<br />
The group had now left ESP-Disk and joined Reprise, a major label, and Rapp and producer [[Richard Alderson (record producer)|Richard Alderson]] recruited studio musicians to play on the album. Chief among these was Jim Fairs, formerly of garage band [[The Cryan' Shames]], who acted as co-producer and arranger as well as musician. Other musicians included violinist Richard Greene, later of [[Seatrain (band)|Seatrain]], and jazz drummer [[Grady Tate]].<br />
<br />
''These Things Too'' has been described as Rapp's ''"dreamy"'' album,<ref>[http://members.chello.nl/cvanderlely/pearls/disco/disco3.html These Things Too<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> and it is generally less well regarded by critics than the albums which immediately preceded and followed it, ''Balaklava'' (1968) and ''[[The Use of Ashes]]'' (1970). Rapp stated that it was the first Pearls Before Swine album which reflected drug use in the writing of the songs.<ref name=sleeve/><br />
<br />
The album sleeve showed a 15th-century painting of Christ by [[Giovanni Bellini]]. The picture was removed from the version of the album issued in Germany because it showed Christ's nipple exposed.<ref name=sleeve/><br />
<br />
The album was reissued on CD in 2003, originally as part of a box set, ''Jewels Were The Stars'', which comprised the group's four completed Reprise albums. It was again reissued, with ''The Use of Ashes'', as a two-on-one CD by Floating World Records in 2011.<ref>[http://recordcollectormag.com/reviews/the-use-of-ashes-these-things-too Record Collector review of ''The Use of Ashes / These Things Too''].
