My wife got me a turntable and some albums for Christmas. The turntable she picked up didn't work and I sent it back for a refund and spent some time picking out the replacement - I finally picked one and just hooked it up tonight. Went right to the 4 LP version of AFE that she gave me also and boy do I have a smile on my face! It feels so good handling an album again and the sound sure is sweet! Glad my 500 or so albums are still sitting in storage too.
Was spinnin' some vinyl earlier. 
You posted two good ones FF71 -- like those, Hellbound Train will always b best heard on vinyl, b/c of cover art
"when my train pulls in

Ride On Babe

Saw them in '73 when Toad came out. Seems they played mostly stuff from Hellbound that show.
I saw this from Dave Walker on the band during the early '70's....
"Street Corner Talking had made #75; Hellbound Train would leap to #34, Savoy Brown’s highest-charting album ever, and one of their most beloved — Walker still laughs when he recalls the fan in Cleveland, Ohio, who turned up at a show with the album’s distinctive artwork tattooed around his torso. “We had some real nutcases come to see us!”
They were loyal nutcases, however. The American rock scene of the day was in perpetual ferment, with any number of new bands seemingly poised for a major breakthrough of one kind or another. But “below the upper echelon of Zeppelin and The Who,” Walker explains, “there was just four groups who really looked likely to join them up there — the Allmans, the J. Giels Band, Humble Pie and us.”
Saw all of those bands in '72 except SB & LZ, which I also caught in '73.
All of which probably cost together what the "service charge" is for a concert today. 😮
