HUMBLE PIE - STREET RATS - 1975 FIRST PRESS VINYL ALBUM IN NEAR MINT CONDITION
A&M RECORDS - CAT NO: AMLS 68282 - MATRIX NUMBERS A1/B1
THIS IS A FIRST PRESSING OF THE CONTROVERSIAL FINAL ALBUM BY SIXTIES AND SEVENTIES "SUPERGROUP" HUMBLE PIE, THE BAND FORMED BY STEVE MARRIOTT AFTER THE SMALL FACES SPLIT. FOUNDER MEMBERS INCLUDED PETER FRAMPTON FORMALLY OF THE HERD, AND GRED RIDLEY, BASS PLAYER WITH SPOOKY TOOTH.
THIS ALBUM FEATURES FORMER COLOSSEUM MEMBER DAVE CLEMPSON ON GUITAR IN PLACE OF FRAMPTON. IT COMPRISES TRACKS WHICH MARRIOTT AT ONE STAGE INTENDED FOR A SOLO ALBUM, NOTABLY HIS UNIQUE INTERPRETATIONS OF THE BEATLES' SONGS "WE CAN WORK IT OUT", "RAIN" AND "DRIVE MY CAR". MARRIOTT ALWAYS MAINTAINED THAT SOME OF THE TRACKS WENT MISSING FROM HIS OWN RECORDING STUDIO AND WERE GIVEN BY THE RECORD COMPANY TO ANDREW OLDHAM TO REMIX AND PUT OUT AS AN ALBUM BY HUMBLE PIE. INDIVIDUAL BAND MEMBERS PRETTY MUCH DISOWNED THE RECORD, AND ALTHOUGH THEY STAYED TOGETHER FOR MORE LIVE APPEARANCES, THIS PROVIED TO BE THE SWAN SONG FOR ONE OF THE LEADING ROCK BANDS OF THE ERA.
VINYL: NEAR MINT. PLAYS WITHOUT SKIPS, STICKS OR BACKGROUND NOISE. THERE ARE NO SIGNIFICANT MARKS OR SCUFFS AT ALL. THE RECORD HAS BEEN IN LONG-TERM CLEAN AND DRY STORAGE AND LOOKS COMPLETELY UNPLAYED UNTIL WE TESTED IT.
LABELS: NEAR MINT. NO WRITING OR DAMAGE, AND NO SPINDLE TRACES INDICATING,
COVER: EXCELLENT+ NO WRITING, CREASING OR MARKS, AND A RIGID FULLY READABLE SPINE. ALMOST AS NEW, WITH NO REAL EVIDENCE OF WEAR AND TEAR FROM STORAGE.
INNER SLEEVE: PLAIN WHITE PAPER.
RARE CHANCE TO GET A NEAR MINT COPY OF AN IMPORTANT SEVENTIES ROCK ALBUM - PROBABLY NOT THE LEGACY ALBUM WHICH HUMBLE PIE WOULD HAVE INTENDED, BUT MUSICALLY FASCINATING FOR MARRIOTT'S TREATMENT OF SOME BEATLES STANDARDS, CLEMSON'S GUITAR WORK, AND THE OVERALL ENERGY OF A ROCK BAND STILL PUSHING THE BOUNDARIES IN THE IMMEDIATE PRE-PUNK PERIOD IN ROCK MUSIC.
