#77. Pretty Things: S. F. Sorrow (1968)

 

S. F. Sorrow, the first rock-opera. This is always forgotten because Pete Townshend released just a little bit later his Tommy which became an enourmous success. However, S. F. Sorrow is better. In fact, it is much, much better than I remembered. In many ways it is a bit Kinksian effort, but more psychedelic. And great songs, too! Take Baron Saturday. The best song the Small Faces never wrote. And no boring instrumental tracks. I gotta buy this record.
