S.F. Sorrow

"S.F. Sorrow" by The Pretty Things is an album written about the circle-of-life of an ordinary WWII veteran - from birth through love to his inevitable delusion. Originally intended to be called "Sergeant Sorrow", it was influenced by a chronicle of short stories written by composer Phil May.

Despite limited media coverage and relatively poor sales, "S.F. Sorrow" is remarked as the world's first rock opera and greatly inspired The Who's "Tommy."
