Page "Concept album" Paragraph 9

In October 1967, the British group Nirvana released The Story of Simon Simopath ( subtitled " A Science Fiction Pantomime "), an album that tells the story of the title character.

It was only a moderate commercial success.

The album S. F.

Sorrow ( released in December 1968 ) by British group the Pretty Things is generally considered to be among the first creatively successful rock concept albums-in that each song is part of an overarching unified concept – the life story of the main character, Sebastian Sorrow.
