By 1990 Marriott was playing an average 200 gigs a year, when Frampton flew into Britain and asked Marriott to reform Humble Pie to produce a one-off album and a reunion tour. The payment would allow Marriott to take things easier. He agreed, and they flew out to Frampton's studio in Los Angeles on the twenty-seventh of January 1991. They began writing songs, but the project was never completed, as Marriott had a change of heart and returned home. See scans

Thanks for this Jobe. Great quality as ever and the boys reconvening to try to kick start the old Humble Pie always worth a go, this is fun and no mistake. Shame it didn't go on longer. Thanks brother Jay
ReplyDeleteThanks Jobe for the Humble Pie share. What great find always liked Steve Marriott he always had that devil may care attitude Good work
ReplyDeleteThank you so much.One of my favorite band from that time...
ReplyDeleteHate to throw a bucket of water on the proceedings, but track 2, "Why I Sing The Blues," is actually by Cochise (a criminally overlooked band who were more famous for who was in it - we're talking Mick Grabham, B.J. Cole, Ricky Willis, "Willie" Wilson, and John Gilbert - look them up!) from their 2nd album, 'Swallow Tales' (Liberty LBG 83428 [UK], 1971)! And while Frampton is nowhere on it, Marriott is DEFINITELY singing background vocals (and playing piano. Thought you oughta know.
