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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAvailable on limited purple vinyl\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"South Records Ltd","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":49380321624375,"sku":"","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0342\/2497\/files\/CS991915-01A-BIG.jpg?v=1721246500","url":"https:\/\/www.southrecordshop.com\/products\/nirvana-the-story-of-simon-simopath","provider":"South Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
