PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question.   OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise. In the unlikely instance that you feel the need to open a resolution dispute before working with us, you will immediately be blocked from any further chance to acquire the rare music we present each and every week.   Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Please keep in mind our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office. Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has become very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable and will result in blocking the bidder. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our 8000 plus positive feedback.   We use a VPI machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery.   We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so.

! CLEAN COLLECTIBLE COPY from 47 years past ...

...Very hard to find at all , especially as a CLEAN original 1970 first pressing ...The album is the third HUMBLE PIE release and was the one that started the band to be recognized... the white front cover is usually found dirty and the black back cover is usually found with (see full details below) NO wear, NO soil, to the white front amazingly CLEAN ....

HUMBLE PIE was formed amidst much hype by ex-SMALL FACES guitarist STEVE MARRIOTT and former HERD guitarist PETER FRAMPTON in 1968. Joining them were former SPOOKY TOOTH bassist Greg Ridley and ex-LITTLE WOMEN drummer Jerry Shirley. The band were signed to ROLLING STONES manager Andrew Loog Oldham's Immediate Records and scored a hit single with 'Natural Born Boogie'. Despite this success their first two early albums failed to live up to the 'supergroup' status marked out for the band by the media. When their record label collapsed HUMBLE PIE signed to A&M Records together with new manager Dee Anthony and started to aggressively tour America, releasing this classic album self titled as "Humble Pie" in 1970. Alternating hard-driving blues-rockers with rural-folk numbers, Humble Pie neatly showcases the two sides of this band's personality on their first release for a major American label and third UK album overall. All of the elements are in place for the sound that would reach its studio peak with the next release, Rock On, and culminate with the classic Live at the Fillmore album. "Earth and Water Song" provides a blueprint for the guitar-based sound Peter Frampton would ride to multi-platinum success as a solo artist later in the decade. "One Eyed Trouser-Snake Rumba" and "Red Light Mama, Red Hot!" show the hard-rocking direction in which Steve Marriott would move the band after Frampton's departure the following year..."Humble Pie" is the first heavy-blues album that began the magic of Steve Marriott's hardrockin success. "Live With Me" is a driven-to-tears 10 minutes long blues story. And there is "I'M Ready", and "Red Hot Light Mama", explosive hard rock ! The accoustic songs are less good than the electrified heavies, but the ensemble is fantastic, full of this particular heavy soul that Marriott injects within.
