Description
A rare opportunity to get an original UK mono edition vinyl album in excellent condition.
The vinyl plays really well and looks brilliant for the age. The sleeve has some signs of wear, but nothing significant. I have photographed some of the corners to help judge, and my photos should be quite clear.
Play tested and sounds excellent.
I has the black and blue Columbia labels. It has the original EMI advertising inner sleeve, which is still fully intact.
Item will be carefully packed, and the vinyl placed in a new paper liner outwith the original packaging. Special delivery within UK.
I always list with the eBay global shipping, however, if requested, I will look up and quote direct international shipping to your country.
"S.F. Sorrow is the fourth album by the English rock group Pretty Things. Released in 1968, it is one of the first, if not the first, rock operas.
Based on a short story by singer Phil May, the album is structured as a song cycle, telling the story of the main character, Sebastian F. Sorrow, from birth through love, war, tragedy, madness, and the disillusionment of old age.
Although the album is a rock opera, it has been stated by members of the Who that the record had no major influence on Pete Townshend and his writing of Tommy (1969). The Pretty Things, however, have suggested otherwise, as have some critics."
