Universal have compiled a Humble Pie box set featuring the A&M Years for the band from 1970 to 1975.
Humble Pie centred around Steve Marriott who had been the Small Faces and 19-year old (at the time) guitarist Peter Frampton, fresh from UK band The Herd who had three UK hits including two Top 10 hits in the UK prior to Frampton joining Humble Pie.
The box unfortunately picks up at the third album completely missing the first two albums on Immediate and the band’s breakthrough hit ‘Natural Born Bugie’ (no 4 UK, no 19 Australia).
Humble Pie only had moderate success even in the UK. Their biggest album was the fifth studio album ‘Smokin’ which reached no 20 n the USA and no 6 in the USA. It also made it to no 9 in Australia. ‘Smokin’ was also the first album without Peter Frampton, who left to go solo. The Frampton composed Humble pie song ‘Shine On’ was included on Peter’s classic ‘Frampton Comes Alive’.
Of the founding members, Steve Marriott died in 1991 and Greg Ridley in 2003.
Humble Pie’s A&M CD Box Set (1970-1975) will be released on 2 December.
