Savoy Brown Hellbound Train LP 1972 Australian Decca black EX+
Original Australian pressing on Decca, black boxed labels.
Savoy Brown, originally known as the Savoy Brown Blues Band, are an English blues rock band formed in Battersea, south west London in 1965. Part of the late 1960s blues rock movement, Savoy Brown primarily achieved success in the United States, where they promoted their albums with non-stop touring.
The band was formed by guitarist Kim Simmonds and harmonica player John O’Leary, following a chance meeting at Transat Imports record shop in Lisle Street, Soho, in 1965. The initial constant line-up adjustments were attributed to the “creative accountancy” employed by the band’s manager, Harry Simmonds, brother of Kim.
The original line-up included singer Bryce Portius, keyboardist Trevor Jeavons, bassist Ray Chappell, drummer Leo Manning and harmonica player John O’Leary (O’Leary appeared on record with the band on its initial recordings for Mike Vernon’s Purdah label). Portius was one of the first black blues musicians to be a part of a British rock band. Jeavons was replaced by Bob Hall shortly after the band’s formation and the arrival of Martin Stone on guitars. Not long after Stone’s arrival, O’Leary left the band as a consequence of a dispute with Manager Harry Simmonds. This line-up, sans O’Leary, appeared on the band’s 1967 debut album, Shake Down, a collection of blues covers.
Hellbound Train is the eighth album by the band Savoy Brown.
