The Sorrows 'Take a Heart' (1965)
The Sorrows released their first album, 'Take a Heart', in 1965 on the Piccadilly Records label which was a subsidiary of Pye Records. The Sorrows were at the time the hardest, most aggressive and contemporary R&B band of that time, although later this brand of music was eventually termed "Freakbeat". One of the most overlooked bands of the British Invasion, the Sorrows offered a tough brand of R&B-infused rock that recalled The Pretty Things (though not as R&B-oriented) and The Kinks (though not as pop-oriented). Their hallmarks are boomy, raucous vocals, lightning fast guitar solos and frantic thudding drums. The musicianship is excellent, yet the band failed to achieve much success, probably due to the fact that their brand of proto-punk rock and roll was simply too ahead of its time. - Wikipedia

...if i search back through the murky ponds of what is left of my battered brain cells to a time of so-called innocence i do remember that there were bands that i simply refused to acknowledge because they didn't sound like they were made by bands of my generation.they sounded kinda like this. maybe that might explain the indifference this band experienced.
