SAVOY BROWN/RAW SIENNA LK 5043 (-70) UK MONO

Their last album with some kind of original setting. After this keyboardist Bob Hall and singer Chris Youlden quit and left the band as a four-piece. In a way it's the groups most deviant effort - having less hard-core boogie and raw blues, but more melodies and odd song structures. It's lighter and more playful than their previous with fewer overdubs, wich brings it closer. Back then I was more into the groups squirming approach, but with age I've come to appreciate this and it's now my Savoy Brown favorite. Produced by Kim Simmonds and Chris Youlden. The mono may be some kind of tweaked fold down, but sounds so much better than the stereo. It has bigger base all through, clearer and more dynamic with top separation. Very good listening. Early US on Parrot (PAS 71036). First UK - mono and stereo - came with laminated fold/out cover, later matt f/o. (UKÖ*)(YMÖ*)(SÄVX*)
