THE PRETTY THINGS - 'S.F. SORROW'
This is a chance for you to purchase a particularly rare Mono Recording of SF Sorrow.
The mix of the Mono version is also the recording that the band preferred.
Pete Townsend insisted that the Who were not influenced by this album but the similarity of the main riff on “Old Man Going” is too close to “Pinball Wizard” to be coincidence.
This a Very Good UK 1st Mono pressing of this classic psychedelic concept album.
Recorded on the blue & black Columbia label: SX6306
Matrix numbers: XAX 3738-1 (2) & XAX 3739-1 (3)
