Sorrows - Baby Baby Balla Balla.wmv

The Sorrows are considered perhaps to be the archetypal freakbeat band. They were formed in 1963 in Coventry, Warwickshire, England by Pip Whitcher.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). [1]

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 because their brand of proto-punk rock and roll was simply too far ahead of its time. After receiving some minor chart positions on the UK Singles Chart, Phil Packham and Don Fardon left the band. Fardon then went on to have a UK chart hit with "Indian Reservation". Wez Price took Phil Packam's place on bass guitar, whilst Roger Lomas became lead guitarist and Pip Whitcher focused on vocals. The band relocated to Italy and received minor success. Following the band's break-up Whitcher and Lomas went on to record at Air Studios under Mike Sullivan.

Lomas in the early 1980s became a record producer for his own company, ROLO productions, and produced 1980s ska bands such as Bad Manners.

Dies war einfach genial. War im Skilager und es oedete mich an dort. Simulierte von wegen Magen und so und begab mich in Saas-Fee in die rockige Bar, wo ich zigmal die Musikbox fuetterte mit diesem Song. Trank Tee und Coci und machte mir einen tollen Nachmittag fern der Piste. Heute wohne ich in Uebersee und bin immer wieder froh, wenn jemand die alten geliebten Platten ins youtube fuettert.

Herzlichen Dank auch dafuer.
