Band formed in London 1971 by three earlier Savoy Brown members - guitarist Dave Peverett, bassist Tony Stevens and drummer Roger Earl - who'd left the band after their "Looking In" album https://monolover.blogspot.com/2012/12/savoy-brownlooking-in-skl-5066-70.html and former Black Cat Bones slide guitarist Roderick " Rod" Price https://monolover.blogspot.com/2013/07/black-cat-bonesbarbed-wire-sandwich-sdn.html . This was their debute album and as produced by Dave Edmunds, who also did some additional guitars, you could only expect a brilliant blues rock album. And it is. No rest for the dedicated listener here. Six self-penned cuts coupled with three covers, all served in the same merciless mood. Last track - "Gotta Get To Know You" - is more of a rock ballad and "Maybelline" close to classic rock, but the rest full speed ahead with tons of flashy guitars over pumping drums and bass. Blues in the neighborhood of hard rock. I guess this is a lot what Savoy Brown would have sounded like if the trio had stayed. Favorite tracks - "I Just Want To Make Love To You" with its clever intro and the bouncy "Highway Killing". Full album below. The audio on this US press is top notch - loud and brutal, yet clear. Issued and reissued all over the world through the years on vinyl and CD, also cassette and 8-track. First UK on Bearsville (K 45503). Japan 2008 limited ed. remastered CD in paper sleeve on Bearsville (VICP 64280). Early US had label as shown here in a glossy cover.
