The Pretty Things really came together once they finally dropped their poor man's Stones shtick, which was great,
but S.F. Sorrow showed a range of creativity that sits between Something Else by The Kinks and The Who's Tommy, which Townsend refuses to admit that Sorrow was a direct inspiration, despite the many similarities. Although like Oddesy And Oracle this album was a year too late and missed the boat for mass appeal, but never too late to become a timeless classic.
