Savoy Brown '81-'89 [4CDs] The Complete Eighties Studio Albums

The British R ‘n‘ B boom of the early 1960’s led directly to the British Blues Explosion in 1968.

The London  R n B boom led by, for example, The Rolling Stones, The Kinks, The Yardbirds, The Pretty Things and to some extent the Beatles quickly moved into mainstream pop and left a vacuum in the London clubs.

This vacuum, in London, was filled in the mid 60’s by John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers featuring Eric Clapton and Savoy Brown’s Blues Band featuring Kim Simmonds.

Both these bands became headliners at major London clubs such as The Marquee establishing a “blues night” amongst the mainstream soul and popular music in the charts at that time.

As headlining pioneers of the new blues movement Savoy Brown gave a platform to emerging bands in other areas of the U.K.  Ten Years After and Jethro Tull both were opening acts to Savoy Brown on blues night at the Marquee.

Chicken Shack from Birmingham also came to London and along with the early Fleetwood Mac established themselves on the scene.

John Mayall, Savoy Brown, Fleetwood Mac, Jethro Tull, Chicken Shack and Ten Years After became the “big six” blues bands at that time.

Hits soon followed for these bands (Savoy Brown cracking the USA in 1969) and the blues movement quickly gave way to the heavy rock of Black Sabbath, themselves a blues band when they started.

The British Blues Boom was a phenomena never to be repeated again and remains one of the foremost U.K. music movements of all.

Tom Petty - An American Treasure (4 CD Deluxe, 2018) [Hi-Res FLAC]

 

An American Treasure, the first posthumous Tom Petty project, is designed as an aural biography of the late rocker, telling a tale that begins with a Mudcrutch session from 1974, running through the glory of Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers in 1976, and concluding with a live version of “Hungry No More” from 2016, just over a year prior to his tragic 2017 passing. Arriving roughly a year after Petty’s death, the timing for An American Treasure makes sense — he certainly deserved a tribute — but in strict discographical terms, there didn’t seem a need for a second career-spanning box set, as he already had 1995’s rarity-laden box Playback and a multi-disc The Live Anthology from 2009. Happily, An American Treasure offers a story that’s not told on either previous set, and that’s a complete picture of Petty’s career, told entirely through byways, not highways. The compilers — a team consisting of his widow Dana, wife Adria, bandmates Mike Campbell and Benmont Tench, plus longtime producer Ryan Ulyate — made a conscious decision not to replicate any material from Playback, which meant that there wasn’t room for the original hit versions of any of Petty’s hits. Ultimately, this meant that many of his best-known songs are nowhere to be found on An American Treasure, but that winds up as a feature, not a bug.

Queen - The Miracle (Collectors Edition) (4 CD 2022) [FLAC]

Widely recognised as Queen’s strongest album of the 80’s and one of their most inspired, the 1989 released The Miracle was a global success reaching No. 1 in the UK and several major European markets, even re-establishing the band in the US where it delivered a gold album. Brian May has often cited the title track as his favourite Queen song of all time.

The hugely prolific sessions for The Miracle began in December 1987 and stretched out to March 1989. It was to be one of the most consequential periods in Queen’s history. Fifteen months previously, on August 9, 1986, Queen’s mighty Europe Magic Tour had ended on a high, before an estimated audience of more than 160,000 at Knebworth Park in Britain. As the band left the stage that night – toasting the flagship show of their biggest tour to date – they could hardly have foreseen that Knebworth marked a line in the sand. This would be Queen’s final live show with Freddie and the first in a chain of pivotal moments that would lead towards a lengthy separation for the band.

It would take 15 months and a radical restructuring of internal band dynamics before Queen regrouped in London’s Townhouse Studios on December 3rd, 1987, to start work on their thirteenth studio album. For the first time, Queen would share songwriting credits equally, regardless of who conceived each song, a consensus of opinion that was to have fertile results.
