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 became 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. Thank you for your interest and support. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

FABULOUS OPPORTUNITY to grab a never opened 1973 (45 years ago) first print ... a HIGHLY RATED "peak years" HUMBLE PIE GLORY

This very copy, as a FIRST PRESSING = original= is still FACTORY SEALED and was released in April 1973.

‘Eat It’ - 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.'

Side Two featured a quartet of cover songs, which, as any Humble Pie devotee will tell you, the band was especially brilliant at reinventing – namely a stinging romp through Ike & Tina’s 'Black Coffee' and soulful treatment of Ray’s 'I Believe to My Soul,' where the sheer power of Marriott’s voice could be appreciated in all its glory.

For Side Three, Marriott revisited his softer side, not really seen since the band’s tentative first albums, pre-A&M, but totally justified by the naked acoustic sensitivity heard on "Say No More,” soft country twang of 'Summer Song' and easy-riding swing of 'Beckton Dumps' (which no doubt taught the Black Crowes a trick or ten).

Finally, Side Four showcased Humble Pie in their natural element: the concert stage, motoring through one of their heaviest songs ever in the devastating 'Up Our Sleeve' and stretching their chops across a thirteen-minute jam on the Motown nugget, '(I'm A) Road Runner' – clearly in an effort to try (but fail) to top ‘Rockin’ the Fillmore’s’ face-melting cover of ‘I Don’t Need No Doctor.”

Alas, for all of its double-trouble, boogie rock goodness, ‘Eat It,’ reached a respectable no 13 on the sales charts, giving every indication that Humble Pie’s assault on America was in abundant good health.
