Very nice. I discovered SF Sorrow (and Parachute) via Real Pretty as well, back in my college days. After a very rough 2022, I celebrated surviving it by treating myself to the SF Sorrow box set that came out a few years back, complete with reproductions of their really psychedelic 45s from the period. It has never left my living room since.

What a perfect treat and no doubt, well deserved! Is that their Defecting Grey/Talking About The Good Times & Walking Through My Dreams 45s?

Yep, plus repros of the Private Sorrow and Baron Saturday 45s.

More excellence! You really bring this to life. The funny thing about the Desert Island Discs concept is that I always think my most beloved recordings might not make the listing because they are so vividly embedded in my head already. However, if listening to them still has the power to transport me, then what better way to travel from the island?
