Steve Marriott and his boys in Humble Pie were firing on all cylinders at the start of 1973, fueled by the career-high No. 6 chart placing achieved by the previous year’s aptly named ‘Smokin’’ LP, which appeared to indicate the British group’s de facto conquest of America. Now all they had to do was top it.

Fortuitously, this newfound success gave the band a little extra clout with which to ask their label, A&M Records, to indulge some ambitious ideas relating to the recording of next album, which they boldly planned to entitle ‘Eat It.’

For starters, ‘Eat It’ would be a double-LP and, for seconds, it would feature an expanded lineup supplementing Marriott, guitarist Dave “Clem” Clempson, bassist Greg Ridley and drummer Jerry Shirley with sax player Sidney George and trio of back-up singers dubbed The Blackberries, whose past exploits included stints with both Ike & Tina Turner and Ray Charles as the Ikettes and Raelettes, respectively.

What’s more, each of ‘Eat It’s’ four vinyl sides would capture a different side of Humble Pie – thus presumably giving fans of all stripes a little bit of what they fancied, plus a whole lot more of what they needed in order to appreciate the full breadth of the band’s talents.

Released in April 1973, ‘Eat It’s’ Side One boasted four, brand new Marriott-penned hard blues numbers dripping with extra R&B sauce courtesy of Humble Pie’s new supporting cast, including a very tongue-in-cheek ‘Good Booze and Bad Women’ and extra funky ‘Drugstore Cowboy.’
