‘The Story Of Simon Simopath’ is the debut album by British psychedelic band Nirvana, released by Island Records in 1967. Described by Melody Maker’s Chris Welch as a “science fiction pantomime album,” the songs are linked with a story on the back cover which details the dream of Simon Simopath to fly. ‘Pentecost Hotel’ was released as a single with the non-album b-side, ‘Feelin’ Shattered.’ ‘Wings Of Love’ was the next single, also with a non-album b-side, ‘Requiem To John Coltrane.’ In a retrospective review on AllMusic, Stewart Mason feels that the “unashamedly twee early concept album,” with its “deliberately childlike tone,” despite being “a collection of unconnected songs forced together” in a “rather silly story,” is a “uniformly solid set of well-constructed psych-pop tunes.” ‘The Story Of Simon Simopath’ was selected for The MOJO Collection as one of the most significant albums in musical history. Comes on purple vinyl.<\/p>\n
