The Sorrows were from Coventry/UK and started out as a pounding R&B band. Their lead singer was a certain Don Maughn who later found success after his name change as Don Fardon. Their first album "Take A Heart" was one of the great R&B/Beat records of that era. After Fardon left they relocated to Italy and released three singles and the album "Old Songs New Songs" that was later re-issued by Eva Records (Eva 12020 / 1984) as "The Sorrows In Italy". The main songwriter was now the new member and lead guitarist Chuck Fryer who also wrote all their self-penned material for their second album that also featured covers of Traffic, Family and Small Faces. The Fryer compositions "Hey Hey", "Io Amo Te Per Lei" and "The Makers" are the highlights on an interesting album. The Eva release has also their first italian single as bonus tracks.Tracklist:
