Hello all, first time poster. Good read this forum.

In my humble opinion, the reissue of SF Sorrow with the inclusion of The Pretty Things' singles of the time takes an already strong album, and nudges it in with the big boys.

Piper at The Gates is lovely, I mean Mathilde Mother is gorgeous, and Bike and The Gnome are just belting. Cant help thinking though it suffers from what SF Sorrow suffers from.

Imagine it if Piper at The Gates had See Emily Play and Arnold Layne on it, it would have then probably had given Sgt Pepper a rightfully good kicking.

But for original releases out of the three I'll have to go with Sgt Pepper just for sheer depth of quality. But strangely I listen to the other 2 more

.....I guess that comes from listening to Sgt Pepper too many times growing up.
