"All right, this message is for you Savoy Neophytes: If you want the VERY BEST collection of Savoy Brown currently available, you'll skip this offering and purchase Savoy Brown Collection, the two-CD box set Chronicles anthology (not to be confused with the similarly named Collection, which is a box consisting of three SB eighties CD's rereleased together in one package.) However, if you are too poor (and who isn't) and just don't want to splurge $20+ on a band you know very little about, then get 20th Century Masters, a very good compilation of some of SB's best work from their most productive years. Highlights include all the cuts from their best albums: "I'm Tired" (from A Step Furthur), "Hard Way to Go" (from Raw Sienna), "Poor Girl" and "Money Can't Save Your Soul" (from Looking In), and "Tell Mama", "Can't Get Next to You", and "Street Corner Talking" (from Street Corner Talking). Low points: There are no songs from Getting to the Point, one of their best albums, and nothing whatsoever after 1972's "Hellbound Train" (Note: Yes, "Hellbound Train" is supposed to cut off abruptly like that. It's the shock of arriving in hell, you see. Don't worry: your CD isn't defective!). Please listen to this album numerous times (you will want to, trust me!), then purchase several of the above named albums to get the true Savoy Brown experience. Finally, you will want to eventually add Savoy Brown Collection as well. If you're not sure, just ask yourself: What can Brown do for you?"

What a tease!

"Beware this blues/rock band will leave you wanting more.This is a good place to start but I would strongly recommend following this purchase with "Street Corner Talkin'".That album has been a personal fave of mine for years.The stand out tracks here are"tell mama","I can't get next to you" and"street corner talking"...all excellent."

Great British Blues .. Outstanding Man !
