The album S.F. Sorrow by The Pretty Things was released by Madfish. It is a concept album that tells the story of the fictional character Sebastian F. Sorrow and his journey through life, love, and loss.

S.F. Sorrow is often considered one of the first rock operas, predating The Who's Tommy by several months. It was released in 1968 and received critical acclaim for its innovative storytelling and musicality.

The album features a mix of psychedelic rock, folk, and baroque pop influences, creating a unique sound that was ahead of its time. The songs are filled with lush arrangements, intricate melodies, and thought-provoking lyrics.

Throughout the album, The Pretty Things explore themes of isolation, disillusionment, and the human experience. From the opening track "S.F. Sorrow Is Born" to the closing track "Loneliest Person," each song adds another layer to Sebastian's story.

Notable tracks on the album include "Balloon Burning," a catchy rock anthem with soaring guitar solos; "She Says Good Morning," a dreamy ballad with beautiful harmonies; and "Private Sorrow," a haunting reflection on lost love.

S.F. Sorrow is an immersive listening experience that takes you on an emotional journey through Sebastian F. Sorrow's life. Its timeless themes and innovative musicality make it a must-have for any fan of classic rock or concept albums.
