Another from my personal collection! This original 1st UK pressing has hardly ever been played from new, in fact it looks only ever played a handfull of times if that! The audio is trully stunning throughout! I play my vinyls on a top system and I would clas myself as highly critical. Please look at my completed listings that I have sold of this calaber and youy will see that I normally get it right!

Originally known as the Savoy Brown Blues Band, their 1969 single "Train to Nowhere" (with singer Chris Youlden), was viewed by many as the last gasp of the blues scene in Great Britain.

 Although Savoy Brown never reached much acclaim in their home nation, they developed a loyal core following in the United States, due to songs such as "I'm Tired" (from their album A Step Further), a driving, melodic song.

 They were one of the bands that UK Decca (US London/Parrot) stuck with through the lean times until they started selling records (it took 4 or 5 albums until they started to sell in the US). In the late 1960s and 1970s, the band managed to penetrate the Billboard Hot 100. Superstardom perpetually evaded them, perhaps in part because of their frequent lineup changes, but despite that, "Hellbound Train" was a big album for them in the US!!!!!.

While the band is still active today, only Kim Simmonds has stayed since the beginning. Guitarist "Lonesome" Dave Peverett, bassist Tone Stevens, and drummer Roger Earle went on to form Foghat. Original member and harmonica player, John O'Leary, is still active on the British blues circuit with The John O'Leary Band. Savoy Brown's first album, Shake Down, featured lead vocalist Bryce Portius. Portius was one of the first black blues musicians to be a part of a British rock band. Another singer, Dave Walker, would later join Fleetwood Mac and Black Sabbath!!!!!!.

Savoy Brown also provided an outlet for the keyboardist and guitarist, Paul Raymond, who later went on to join UFO. Other notable members include Jeff Howell, who went on to play with Foghat and the Outlaws before returning to central New York, where he is considered the best carpet installer in Ithaca!!!!!!.

Savoy Brown contributed the song "A Man Alone" for the soundtrack to the movie Kickboxer 2!.

The Vinyl

This looks awesome! This looks like new on initial inspection, Still retaining its original deep glossy sheen from new!! LOOK SUPERBE! I can see (No)deep needle scratches or marks! Any that could possibly be seen are sleeve removal marks Please Note! I can see one or two very light whispy marks but only under very strong light! These have very little if (no) effect on the awesome audio quality of this vinyl!! (perhapes the very (very) light static only here and  certainly not consistant throughout the audio) I have played this through track for track as usual prior to listing and the audio is truly awesome  (no) crackle or surface noise (no) loud clicks or pops,,  certainly (no) jumps or skips CRISTAL CLEAR AND VIBRANT ON ALL FREQUENCIES! This is one of the best that I have heard of this pressing TOP! TOP! AUDIO WILL BE HARD TO SURPASS! This looks and sounds like it has hardly ever been played !! Unbeleivable for an original 1st pressing that is 37 years old!!!! This is clear and vibrant with (no) signs of distortion or that this has been over played at all!!!  In my opinion this looks and plays almost as new!! I would grade the audio quality at least excellent plus to near mint!!

Please note! I always add this disclaimer! Please allow for the odd isolated static tick\crackle! Please remember that this is an original 41 year old vinyl that has been played and would have originally been played on a 41 year old system!!

The labels!

These are the original boxed DECCA labels (correct for this pressing) They are almost as new condition!! I can see hardly any spidering at all PERHAPES 2 OR THREE SPIDER MARKS!!! and (no) spindle ware what so ever!! UNBELEIVABLE! (SEE PHOTOS) ''MADE IN ENGLAND'' IS FEATURED (ONLY UK PRESS) THIS HAS ONLY EVER BEEN PLAYED A HAND FULL OF TIMES!!!! 

The Record Sleeve

This is the original stereo DECCA poly lined sleeve superbe with no splits or tares!!!!

The Cover

This is the original  (laminated) gatefold cover (sleeve printed in England by MacNeill Press) These laminated 1st press covers are very hard to find in good condition. There is just very few laminate creases only, nothing too bad in my opinion    (no) splits or tares! Please note! There is some small pin holes at the top corners that I only noticed when taking photos and are not really noticable unless scrutinised. All writing on the spine can be seen clearly. The lightest of general storageware only  These are normally seen in a terrible state!! I would grade this as excellent!
