"Pink, Purple, Yellow & Red: The Complete Sorrows is a treat for fans obsessed with the group; for those who are less loyal, play the first two discs and save the others for a day you're feeling generous".

"Pink, Purple, Yellow And Red certainly has most things a Sorrows fan could wish for (and I count myself as one of their number). The 1965/66 recordings are uniformly superb, bar a few sappy ballads and it was surprising and gratifying how well they coped with the constant turnover of band members and changing trends during the late 1960s. There are a host gems to enjoy in the demo material and the whole thing has been put together with Grapefruit's customary élan. The Sorrows for me were a band who should have been way more successful, they were constantly entertaining and imbued their material with the kind of crunch most could only dream of. A wonderful selection box from one of Freakbeat's charter members".
