Customer Reviews

Excellent Collection From Humble Pie!
Seeing as though A&M Records here in the United States has pretty much ignored Humble Pie's catalog (most are available from Japan as expensive imports) this collection is way long overdo. Founded by ex-Small faces Stevie Marriott and who's lineup included one highly talented guitarist/songwriter named Peter Frampton who originally was a member of The Herd, a British pop rock act, Humble Pie are best compared to Led Zeppelin in that they played soul combined with rock n' roll with lots of grunt. This collection includes seventeen tracks spanning the band's seventies career. The standouts are many including several songs from the band's excellent "Performance: Rockin' The Fillmore" album with "I Don't Need No Doctor" and "Four Day Creep". Other superb tracks include "Natural Born Woman", "Big Black Dog", "Live With Me", "Shine On", "Stone Cold Fever", "Hot N' Nasty", "30 Days In The Hole" and "Black Coffee". Frampton would leave after three years with the band to pursue what would become a highly successful solo career. Humble Pie continued to record several excellent albums following Frampton's departure such as "Smokin" and "Eat It" but unfortunately the followup albums "Thunderbox" and "Street Rats" were unsuccessful for the most part and when Marriott reformed Humble Pie in the eighties the few albums released then were hardly noticed. In 1991 talks of a reunion with Peter Frampton would unfortunately never materialize due to Marriott's death that year and the world lost an extremely talented singer/songwriter. The remastering on this "Definitve Collection" is excellent with crisp highs, increased midrange and extended output levels. A must have for classic rock fans worldwide.

Very good collection !
Marriott and Co. tackled blues & rock with enthusiasm and competence in the 60's and 70's and this collection is representative of their best work.

Good Old School Rock
It was refreshing (pardon the choice of the word) to hear some rock from the past in all of it's digitally recorded glory. Mastered on tape of course, there is the low level hiss during an intro that anyone that grew up prior to the CD was used to.

A good range of Humble Pie's talent is on this album, from electric blues rock to hard rock - I'd recommend it for your collection.
