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.
Side One: Studio
Made Up My Mind (2:56)
Waiting In The Bamboo Grove (3:37)
Life's One Act Play (6:29)

Savoy Brown Boogie (22.02) including;
I Feel So Good
Whole Lotta Shakin Goin On
Little Queenie
Purple Haze
Hernando's Hideaway
LABELS: NEAR MINT
Clean, unmarked labels with just a couple of spindle traces
VINYL Visual: NEAR MINT/EXCELLENT
Both surfaces shine like new - Side One is unmarked (bar harmless wispy hairlines), Side Two has one more prominent but still harmless hairline
VINYL Audio: EXCELLENT+
Plays beautifully throughout - a couple of one-off ticks noted - nothing really but I did not clean this copy as it looks so immaculate so these will no doubt disappear after a clean/few spins - nothing else to fault
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT
Fine example - deep gloss to the front laminate and a clean back - all edges are sharp with just some soft shop creasing to the spine
