It makes S.F. View credits, reviews, tracks and shop for the 1968 Vinyl release of S.F. Because we had drugs, we could have gone, we’d do three days on what we were on. They were always wheeling in these converted tea trolleys with sort of early synthesizers, valves sticking out, bits of wire”. In 1967 begon de groep met de opnames voor S.F.Sorrow, de eerste LP voortkomend uit het contract met EMI, voor het label Harvest. The typically clueless Rolling Stone magazine, unable to hear greatness when knocked on the head with it, summarized it as: “Some grossly puerile cross between the Bee-Gees, Tommy and the Moody Blues.” Ok, The Who, Moody Blues. The Pretty Things - SF Sorrow (1968) Review by Bruce Eder & Richie Unterberger Who could ever have thought, going back to the Pretty Things' first recording session in 1965 — which started out so disastrously that their original producer quit in frustration — that it would come to this? So sadly The Pretty Things did not get the fame from it they deserved. The band continued to record for many years, with a somewhat evolving crew of band members and still tours to this day. By the time they had managed to get the album completed, EMI was no longer interested and they committed almost no promotion to the album, not even releasing it in the U.S. It was a whole group of boffins, we called them, who had the workshop upstairs. I think he thought we’d gone completely potty. Sorrow. Nirvana’s excellent psychedelic album tells a life story of a man starting at his early childhood, maybe the first to do so. Clearly that. The first output from the collaboration between The Pretty Things and Norman Smith is in my opinion one of the best singles of 1967, not a slight compliment in a year that produced hundreds of excellent songs. This setup gives me a headache, especially viewing on a mobile. Nights in White Satin and Dawn is a Feeling were recorded before any idea of a concept existed and then the band decided to try a story of a day in the life of one guy and band members grabbed different parts of the day to write the songs. By their fourth album they were stretching beyond the form and had the idea to create a collection of songs that told a story. The music and production is definitely of an era; if you can get past the occasional sitar, woodwinds and backwards tape studio effects, it's a brilliant album that combines melody, lush vocal harmonies, and psychadelic garage rock full-gain Marshall stack guitar solos in ways that I'd never imagined before. Years later collections of this music appeared on albums that identified the Electric Banana as The Pretty Things. Phil May: “I’d written this short story called Cutting Up Sergeant Time, which was all based loosely about somebody in the First World War, in trenches. Sorrow was recorded at famed Abbey Road studios in London, in 1967 where the Beatles and Pink Floyd were also recording. Sorrow as a ‘me too’ album and killed any chance of success for it. Helado Negro - This Is How You Smile (2019), Sharon Van Etten - Remind Me Tomorrow (2019), The Rolling Stones – Goats Head Soup (1973), Robyn Hitchcock - I Often Dream of Trains (1984). It wasn’t until six months later that American critics got a hold of it but by that time they were savagely comparing it to the Who’s recently released, is bound to is that of the eponymous character; it recounts his enlistment in World War I, the death of his fiancé in the Hindenburg disaster, and the journey he goes on later in life to find meaning in his ongoing turmoil (to no avail).
