HUMBLE PIE Collection Due Next Week
March 8, 2012, 12 years ago
On March 13th, Deadline Music will release a special two-CD HUMBLE PIE collection which packages the complete records On To Victory and Go For The Throat with a bonus disc of live material recorded in 1981.
Formed in the UK in 1968, Humble Pie was a compilation of extraordinary talent (such as PETER FRAMPTON) that uniquely bridged the gaps between hard rock, prog rock, blues, and soul. Fronted by guitar player and singer Steve Marriott, the early ‘80s Humble Pie represented in these discs also included drummer Jerry Shirley (later of FASTWAY), guitarist Bobby Tench (from THE JEFF BECK GROUP) and bassist Anthony “Sooty” Jones. On To Victory, released in 1980, featured the Billboard Hot 100 hit 'Fool for a Pretty Face'. They toured with TED NUGENT and AEROSMITH before quickly releasing Go For The Throat in 1981. The group went through a few different lineup changes, breakups, and reformations until the untimely passing of Steve Marriott in 1991.
In addition to 'Fool For A Pretty Face', fan favorites like 'Infatuation' and 'Teenage Anxiety' are featured. This unique package also includes full liner notes and rare photos. The bonus disc is an electrifying concert recorded in Los Angeles in 1981. On To Victory/Go For The Throat Deluxe Edition will be available as a two-disk digipak. Additionally, California ’81 is available on vinyl.
