Street Corner Talking / Hellbound Train

Do you remember when an album had only 25 - 40 minutes of playing time but every song was good? This is a CD with two albums on it. All the songs are good or better. The CD comes in a standard, clear jewel case (not the slim ones which make it hard to find in a CD library) and then a cardboard sleeve that has the same graphics as the CD slips over the jewel case for protection. I like it and I will keep it on the case. It arrived with an unbroken jewel case. This ships from the UK and it took 13 days to arrive here. Both of the albums are very good: well-written, great rock/blues, and it has very good sound quality. You will get a heavy dose of the keyboards by Paul Raymonds on both these albums. This is a departure from the album Savoy Brown released the year prior to "Street Corner Talking" titled "Looking In", which is my favorite Savoy Brown album. I was disappointed that the song, Hellbound Train, the last song on the second album and the last song on the CD, just stops abruptly instead of fading away. I deducted half a point for that but added half a point to the packaging for this review. Overall, I highly recommend this CD. Five stars!

These two Savoy Brown albums are among my favorites from the band Kim Simmonds lead (and still does lead )when Dave Walker was the vocalist. He was a good successor to Chris Youlden, who was the best vocalist of the early years of the band.

The album is very good and has two of Savoy Brown's best albums. The only thing disappointing, is there was not enough room for the last song "Hellbound Train" so it stops abruptly with out fading out, trivial but annoying.

The fade out made me crazy. So if your looking for Train as it was originally presented, this is for you. Saw them with Fleetwood Mac & Long John Baldry in early 70s.

I strongly recommend this Item: Well remastered, good sound, clear, not so loud or overproduced, good clarity.Savoy Brand is one of those Bands that were underestimated in their time, but thanks to these reissues, music lovers can discover how great they were(and still are in some cases, when they keep recording and/or touring).As I stated in my title, kudos to that great label, BGO Records. Thanks guys, you are really doing a great, outstanding job. This from a dedicated audiophile. I'm planning to get other Savoy Brown Two-fers.

This music brought back some long ago feelings of listening to music in my old mustang with friends.

Love it

If you like Savoy Brown you will want this

Excellent collection of tracks. However would have been better if "Hellbound Train" was not cut short by at least a couple of minutes in order to squeeze all the tracks onto the disc. Rather like a badly done mixtape from back in the day

Savoy Brown , great British , Blues band , excellent music from the 60"s and still going strong . This is a classic album , and i have the lot ...super !

Consistent effort from Savoy Brown ,the opening track"Tell Mama" is the standout track on "Street Corner Talking".Hellbound train is a more rocking follow up that was to be their most successful album in the States.

Questo doppio cd è meraviglioso. Peccato che l'ultimo brano del 2°cd sul finale viene chiuso senza un finale, questo non si capisce perché hanno fatto questo sulla masterizzazione. Bo!!!

Los "Berzas marrones" me cautivaron desde que escuché su "A hard way to go" del album RAW SIENA. Después, a pesar de los continuos cambios (solo permanecia el lider y guitarrista Kim Simmonds)su legado blues-rock no hacia sino engrandecerse y ser el contrapunto perfecto a los más conocidos Bluesbreakers, Fleetwood Mac y Chicken Shack de Stan Webb. Música directa, con fuerza y mucho "feeling", blanco sí, pero si lo tuyo es el segundo Clapton, el primer Peter Green y demás guitar-gods del paraiso blues-rock británico de finales de los 60 y primeros 70, Savoy Brown (que siguen en activo con su incombustilbe lider a la cabeza)no te defraudarán.
