(July 2023) Episode 509 is THE SORROWS, a British beat band of the mid-60s. They were mod and had an edge, a style known as “freakbeat,” with some dabbling in psychedelia which was customary at the time. I love all things from that era. They had only one hit in the U.S. (“Take a Heart”) and fell apart after a few years.
Favourite album: Take a Heart
Favourite song: You’ve Got What I Want
Compared to expectations: same
Recommendation: Probably too niche unless you’re obsessed with that era (like me), so I’ll make another pitch here for the Nuggets 2 box set which includes “Take a Heart”
