NIRVANA - THE STORY OF SIMON SIMOPATH UK 1967 VINYL 12 INCH LP PINK BALLSEYE / ISLAND LABEL / 1st PRESS / EXCELLENT - RARE MONO
The Story of Simon Simopath is the debut album by British psychedelic band Nirvana, released by Island Records in 1967. The lyrics trace the story from life to death of the titular hero via a series of short songs. The story deals with a boy named Simon Simopath who dreams of having wings. He is unpopular at school, and after reaching adulthood (in 1999) goes to work in an office in front of a computer. He suffers a nervous breakdown and is unable to find help in a mental institution, but gets aboard a rocket and meets a centaur who will be his friend and a tiny goddess named Magdalena, who works at Pentecost Hotel. Simon and Magdalena fall in love and get married, followed by a jazzy party.
"Pentecost Hotel" was released as a single with the non-album B-side, "Feelin' Shattered". "Wings of Love" was the next single, also with a non-album B-side, "Requiem to John Coltrane".
