The Pretty Things | Sorrow [180g Pressing Vinyl Album] LP

The Pretty Things created some of the most exciting and innovative records of the late sixties and early seventies.

Winners of the Hero award at the 2009 Mojo Honours, the band have been name checked over the years by an array of artists ranging from The Clash, David Bowie and Aerosmith through to The Libertines and Kasabian. ‘SF Sorrow’ is one of the great classics of the psychedelic era.

The album stands favourable comparison with ‘Sgt Pepper’ and ‘Piper At The Gates Of Dawn’ as one of the defining records of the time.

Originally recorded at Abbey Road in 1967 and 1968 it was the first and the most complete rock-opera to be recorded and released, pre-dating ‘Tommy’ by a full year.

This vinyl edition of the album re-mastered from the original analogue tapes. It is pressed on 180g heavyweight vinyl and packaged with the original UK artwork gatefold sleeve, with cover art from Phil May.

The Pretty Things are active today and still play live regularly.
