Humble Pie - BBC Sessions, Volume 3: 1971-1974

Here's the third and last album of the British band Humble Pie playing for the BBC. This is a collection of BBC studio sessions.

Humble Pie was mainly created so that singer and guitarist Steve Marriott could be in the same band as singer and guitarist Peter Frampton. This worked well for a while, but Frampton left the band by the end of 1971. The first five songs here come from a BBC session in March 1971 when Frampton was definitely still in the band. But all the other songs are from 1972 or later, after Frampton had left.

Everything here is officially unreleased. The first seven songs are from BBC studio sessions. Tracks 8 and 9 come from a BBC TV show called "Full House." Tracks 10 and 11 come from another BBC TV show, "The Old Grey Whistle Test." The last song, "30 Days in the Hole," comes from a BBC concert in 1974. This was the band's biggest hit and best known song. Surprisingly, even though it was released in 1972, I couldn't find a BBC version until 1974. By that time, the success of the band was declining, so it seems they stopped being invited to the BBC. The band broke up in 1975, though there were a few reunions after that, so that's why this is the last volume in this series.

This album is 52 minutes long.

I'm not sure when or where this photo is from exactly. But it's from the time Frampton was still in the band.

  1. Thanks for this! PF is a great musician and his Humble Pie work is is a must for the PF fan. I'm glad he pulls out a song or two, to this day, from the HP era.
