It's so disappointing that S.F. Sorrow is destined to remain in obscurity. S.F. Sorrow was a commercial failure when it came out in 1968, and it received mixed to negative reviews on its original release. Even in modern times, S.F. Sorrow is overlooked in comparison to The Who & The Beatles, and Allmusic implied that S.F. Sorrow was a flawed effort. S.F. Sorrow deserves to get more recognition.

Just discovered this album after a recent purchase on CD, still sounds amazing, in general The Pretty Things were an underrated band, even in their early days as an R and B band they seemed to play 2nd fiddle toThe Rolling Stones.S.F. Sorrow is a masterpiece and one of the 60s best secrets.

The unfortunate thing about the album was its being released towards the end of 1968, six months or more after its recording began. Depending on what source material you read, the band were apparently working on it at Abbey Road around about the time the Beatles were finishing off Sgt Pepper and Pink Floyd were about to release Piper At The Gates Of Dawn. However, some documentation indicates that most of it was being recorded early in 1968. Whatever the case, it really should have been issued much earlier in 1968 as its psychedelic qualities were already seen as being somewhat passe. However, its cult status hasn't diminished and the album is, arguably, more popular than it was at the time of its original release. Regardless of its historical status, this track is one of the all-time GREAT opening cuts on ANY album!

Who gives a rat's tossbag over who had the 1st 'rock opera'. This is a stunning LP. Good thing the mainstream didn't get a hold of it.

RIP Phil May, thanks for the amazing music

Townshend basically admitted that he was in part inspired by this album. Take that, Cpt. Bluebear!

A bit like Spirit's 12 Dreams of Dr Zadonicus, a little known classic that holds up surprisingly well today.

Hey, that´s my message about being killed. Yours is below, hahaha! by the way - great band, saw them 2, 3 weeks ago and ... they still seem to love it, don´t miss visiting a concert if there is one near your town - it´s worth every cent!

is it me..or did all the best music come from the late 60's?

Such an incredible song from a truly exceptional band.

Rest In Peace Phil May

Love this version along with the SF SEALS' version. :^)
