This two-fer features the band's debut and sophomore releases and shows Savoy Brown launching from several of the most common reference points for British blues.\n\u003cbr\u003e1967's SHAKE DOWN, for example, includes covers of songs by Willie Dixon, B.B. King, and John Lee Hooker. Though not a British blues essential, the album is distinguished by the guitar work of bandleader Kim Simmonds. 1968's GETTING TO THE POINT contains a fair bit of original material, and was the first album to feature vocalist Chris Youlden, who brings a new confidence to the band. This well-assembled and nicely remastered re-issue should be of interest to fans of the genre.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 2005-12-06\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: ROCK\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 2005-12-06\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Savoy Brown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45222359466099,"sku":"HB67I0-JP14-K4","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0500\/7837\/files\/savoy-brown-shake-down-getting-to-the-point_BmoET.jpg?v=1783845003","url":"https:\/\/www.lovevinylrecords.com\/products\/savoy-brown-shake-down-getting-to-the-point","provider":"Love Vinyl Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
