From Street Corner Talking (1971). Street Corner Talking is the seventh studio album by English blues rock band Savoy Brown, released in September 1971 by Decca Records and Parrot Records. The album's personnel list credits Kim Simmonds on lead guitar, with Paul Raymond on guitar on track 1. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Marshall 1959SLP Plexi Super Lead Reissue, the rig we use for Savoy Brown's other songs from Street Corner Talking, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.
