Looking In is the sixth album by the band Savoy Brown.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

Points to note! This is the original heavy and thick chunky type of vinyl therefor much more robust than later pressings! These produce the best audio quality! This caries the J.T. TAX CODE on the run off grooves!!!!! Please note! the original materials used for these pressings are the original from the early 60s! noted by the stamped J.T tax codes!!!!! (VERY RARE AND SOUGHT AFTER)  

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) 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!!I have played this through track for track as usual prior to listing and the audio is truly awesome  (no) crackle or surface noise  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 as new!!!

Please note! I always add this disclaqimer! Please allow for the odd static tick\crackle here and there! Please remember that this is an original 37 year old vinyl that has been played and would have originally been played on a 37 year old system!!
