Notes
This 2-LP-set is housed in a gatefold cover.AllMusic Review by Thom Jurek Two of Savoy Brown's finest recordings in one package. Both Blue Matter and A Step Further were recorded in 1969 and featured the enigmatic Chris Youlden on vocals, Kim Simmonds and Lonesome Dave Peverett on guitars, Roger Earle on drums, Jobe Rivers on bass, and pianist Bob Hall. In its original LP format, Blue Matter contained both studio and live sides, and A Step Further contained a live medley that included everything from Jerry Lee Lewis and Chuck Berry covers to Jimi Hendrix's "Purple Haze." But it was the studio cuts that stood out on both albums. The former featured the amazing "Train to Nowhere" and "Don't Turn Me from Your Door," while the latter included "Made Up My Mind" and "Life's One Act Play."
AllMusic Review by Mike DeGagne 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.
