Description

ARTIST:  PRETTY THINGS

TITLE:  S F SORROW

DESCRIPTION:  This is THE FIRST THEME ALBUM with the story by no other than Phil May !!!

It was released in 1968 a year BEFORE The Who released TOMMY.

It charts the birth of the boy (S F SORROW) through his life and the troubles that befall him

surrounded by larger than life characters and strange happenings.

It takes young Sebastian into the forces as Private Sorrow and what he encounters in his fighting.

Running eventually into old age and finally into his loneliest with a haunting song at the end called loneliest person.

(Shall we say somewhat coincidental similarities to Tommy which purports to be the first 'theme album'

and which followed on very quickly after S F Sorrow was conceived and released by The Pretty Things).

 

The cover opens into a double spread of stunning graphics, way ahead of its time and providing the lyrics

and importantly an understanding of the lyrics.

It features:

Phil May on Vocals

Wally Allen on bass guitar, guitars, vocals, wind instruments & piano

Dick Taylor on lead guitar & vocals

John Povey on organ, sitar, percussion & vocals

Twink on drums & vocals

THIS IS A CLASSIC AMONG CLASSICS !!!
