"Sorrow" comes from Bowie's Pin-Ups LP, his album of cover versions from 1973.
The song "Sorrow" was written by Bob Feldman, Jerry Goldstein, and Richard Gottehrer.
It was first recorded by The McCoys and became a big hit in the United Kingdom in a version by The Merseys in 1966.
Bowie's remake of "Sorrow" was the only single released in the UK from the Pin Ups covers project, reaching UK #3 and staying in the charts for 15 weeks.
"Sorrow" and “Amsterdam” were recorded at Château d'Hérouville, Pontoise, France in July 1973.
The B-side, “Amsterdam”, was a cover of the wonderful Belgian songwriter Jacques Brel's song, originally called “Port of Amsterdam”, which had been performed live by Bowie since 1969.
Bowie actually first recorded "Amsterdam” in 1971 for the Ziggy Stardust album but the track was dropped from the final release. It was included here as it was considered to fit well with “Sorrow”.
