THE SORROWS You've Got What I Want: The Essential Sorrows
1965-67 (2010 issue UK 30-track CD album - When it came to tough,
snarling, mod-into-freakbeat sounds, legendary mid-Sixties act The
Sorrows had few peers. In the space of little more than a year, they
cut a superb album as well as a clutch of menacing, thrillingly
essential 45s, including the iconic 'Take A Heart' [the band's only chart
success] and its equally incendiary follow-up, 'You've Got What I
Want'. Adding a slightly revised line-up's blistering 1967 single 'Pink
Purple Yellow And Red' [and its b-side 'My Gal'] to proceedings,
'You've Got What I Want: The Essential Sorrows 1965-67' does exactly
what it says on the tin, eschewing the more marginal outtakes,
phonetically-learnt foreign language recordings and post-band demos
that have diluted previous collections in favour of collecting
top-of-the-range, primetime Sorrows on one handy little silver disc)
