Shake Down: Vinyl LP

Shake Down, the debut album of the highly - respected London - based Savoy Brown Blues Band, first hit the shelves on Decca Records in September 1967. Produced by the influential duo of Mike Vernon and Gus Dudgeon, this re - issue perfectly replicates the original 1967 Decca UK stereo release, pressed on high - quality 180g vinyl. Led by Kim Simmonds, Savoy Brown was one of the UK's most successful and well - known music outfits. Shake Down masterfully captures the essence of US blues, bringing songs from greats like Albert King, Willie Dixon, and John Lee Hooker to UK blues lovers. Recorded in West Hampstead instead of Chicago, the 11 cover songs show the band's incredibly tight performance. The lineup on this recording includes Trinidad - born Brice Portius on vocals (his only album with the group), Simmonds and Martin Stone trading guitar licks, and the rhythm section of Ray Chappell on bass and Leo Mannings on drums. US critic Dave Marsh said it was 'as sympathetic a rendering of the blues as any English group has managed to lay down.' Tracklist: 1. Ain't Superstitious 2. Let Me Love You Baby 3. Black Night 4. High Rise 5. Rock Me Baby 6. I Smell Trouble 7. Oh! Pretty Woman 8. Little Girl 9. The Doormouse Rides the Rails 10. It's My Own Fault 11. Shake 'Em On Down

Using this vinyl LP is easy. Just place it on a compatible turntable, gently lower the tonearm onto the record, and enjoy the authentic blues music. When handling the vinyl, make sure your hands are clean to avoid getting fingerprints on the surface, which could affect the sound quality. Store the LP in a cool, dry place, standing it upright in a record sleeve to prevent warping. After each use, use a soft, anti - static brush to clean the record and remove any dust. This will help keep the vinyl in good condition and ensure you can enjoy the amazing blues music of Savoy Brown's Shake Down for a long time.
