HUMBLE PIE
As Safe As Yesterday Is

UK IMMEDIATE ?(IMSP 025) FIRST PRESSING (August 1969) OF THE BAND’S DEBUT LP
GREAT COPY - PLAYS BEAUTIFULLY THROUGHOUT

‘As Safe as Yesterday Is’ is Humble Pie’s debut LP. The band featuring former frontmen Steve Marriott (Small Faces) and Peter Frampton (The Herd) were saddled with the then-popular tag of supergroup before they had even played a note.
‘As Safe as Yesterday Is’ is a blend of heavy blues, crushing rock, pastoral folk, and post-mod pop. Marriott contributed six songs to the album, one co-written with Frampton, who also contributed two solo efforts.
The record opens with a cover version of Steppenwolf's "Desperation" and the track "Growing Closer" was written by ex–Small Faces keyboardist Ian McLagan.
Mike Saunders is credited with one of the first mentions of the term ‘heavy metal’ as a rock sub-genre in a scathing 1970 review of ‘As Safe as Yesterday Is’ for Rolling Stone - “…Humble Pie…noisy, unmelodic, heavy metal-leaden shit-rock band, with the loud and noisy parts beyond doubt."

Peter Frampton guitar, vocals, keyboards
Greg Ridley bass, vocals, guitar
Jerry Shirley drums, keyboards
