These Things Too is the third album by American psychedelic folk group Pearls Before Swine, and their first for Reprise Records.

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 Dutch traveller Elisabeth Joosten, whom he had met in New York when recording the album Balaklava.

The group had now left ESP-Disk and joined Reprise, a major label, and Rapp and 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.
