.........................................................................................................
Original German DECCA 1968 first pressing with nice laminated sleeve - completely different cover design to the USA press...(no bar code) ...

The second Savoy Brown album flourishes in top form blues boom rock, checking the band in among the tops of the scene, led by Mayall's Blues Breakers & Green's Fleetwood Mac...

Savoy Brown, as a blues band, was at its creative peak in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Of their four best albums from that period, Getting To The Point is probably the most overlooked and underrated.

Very rare printed inner sleeve IS included!!
.........................................................................................................................

"Getting To The Point" opens and closes with pure blues that sandwich an eclectic mixture of rock, boogie, and blues between. When Chris Youlden starts to sing, you know you are in for a treat. Bob Hall's rollicking keys really sets this LP apart from other Savoy Brown recordings. And of course there is classic Kim Simmonds just ripping it up on lead guitar.
Highlights are all over and include the bluesy Flood In Houston, Someday People, Stay With Me Baby, Mr. Downchild, and the boogies Getting To The Point and The Incredible Gnome Meets Jaxman. The music is probably best summed up by the eight minute long "You need Love", the old Willie Dixon chestnut, which rushes off at a brisk twelve bar, whilst Youlden explains to the object of his desires why she needs his affections, before Simmonds takes over with a blistering guitar solo, giving way to a thundering bass section from Jobe. A pulsating drum solo from Earl leads us into a `dueling style' guitar battle between Simmonds and Peverett. Then the whole band come back to bring the song to a fitting climax.
