With Kim Simmonds and Chris Youlden combining their talents in Savoy Brown's strongest configuration, 1969's A Step Further kept the band in the blues-rock spotlight after the release of their successful Blue Matter album.
While A Step Further may not be as strong as the band's former release, all five tracks do a good job at maintaining their spirited blues shuffle.
Plenty of horn work snuggles up to Simmonds' guitar playing and Youlden's singing is especially hearty on "Made up My Mind" and "I'm Tired."
The first four tracks are bona fide Brown movers, but they can't compete with the 20-plus minutes of "Savoy Brown Boogie," one of the group's best examples of their guitar playing prowess and a wonderful finale to the album.
This lineup saw the release of Raw Sienna before Lonesome Dave Peverett stepped up to the microphone for Looking In upon the departure of Youlden, but the new arrangement was short lived, as not long after three other members exited to form Foghat.
As part of Savoy Brown's Chris Youlden days, A Step Further should be heard alongside Getting to the Point, Blue Matter, and Raw Sienna, as it's an integral part of the band's formative boogie blues years

LABELS: NEAR MINT
Clean, unmarked labels with barely a spindle trace to be seen

Both surfaces shine like new with nothing but some harmless hairlines under bright light
VINYL Audio: NEAR MINT
Plays beautifully throughout with nothing but a a tiny touch of surface of some of the quietest bits, absolutely nothing really
Side Two plays with nothing to fault and has a louder cut than Side One which adds to the excitement of this tremendously immediate live recording
SLEEVE: NEAR MINT
Crisp, clean and sharp with a deep gloss to the laminated front, a pretty clean back and sharp edges and spine where all text is clear and bold. Some light knocks to the corners and record impression to the front but nothing major
