Released in October 1967, The Story of Simon Simopath by the British band Nirvana (often called Nirvana UK) is widely cited as one of the first narrative concept albums or rock operas, predating more famous examples like S.F. Sorrow and Tommy. Retrospective reviews, such as those on AllMusic, describe the album as a blend of Baroque pop, psychedelic pop, and chamber rock. Produced by Chris Blackwell, the sound is characterized by rich arrangements featuring cellos, French horns, and jaunty pianos rather than heavy guitars.
