1453.0. "Looking for Humble Pie reissues" by SELAVY::KLING () Thu Dec 29 1988 14:28


	Humble Pie released a couple of albums, "Safe as Yesterday"
	and "Town and Country", that, as far as I know, were only
	available in the U.S. as imports: the albums were released
	in the early 70's before their success in the U.S. as stadium
	rockers. These two albums are currently available on a single
	CD, entitled "The Best of British Rock", issued by Pair. That
	disc sounds as if it was mastered from records (I mean this
	literally). Does anyone know whether either or both of these
	albums are available on decently remastered/remixed foreign
	discs? If they exist, how can they be obtained? Thanks.

	Will

    Actually, those two albums did get issued in the US in the mid seventies
    as a double LP on A&M.  
    
    From what I remember, the audio quality of them was pretty poor
    as LPs.  
    
    You might check with someone who has the A&M 25th Anniversary Humble
    Pie set and see if "Natural Born Woman (Boogie)" sounds different
    between the two (indicating a remix/remaster).

Don't know about those two albums, but A&M recently released the live LP
'Rockin' The Fillmore' on CD. I've been waiting for this to come out!

    That album was called 'Home and Away'. I recently bought 'As Safe...'
    and 'Town &...' again. They were reissued on a label called Line
    which might be a French label seeing as the records were pressed
    in France. The sound quality is lousy at the best of times and the
    shape of the plastic barely resemble records.

    ps Speaking of lousy sound quality anyone have any opinions on the
    original mix of 'Eat It' done by Steve Marriott himself. I personally
    feel he ruined a potentially good album.

    I saw a "Best of..." compilation about 2 weeks ago at Tower, here
    in Calif. It's got Hot 'n' Nasty, 30 Days in the Hole, etc. Haven't
    picked it up yet, but it looked like a mid-price deal, around $10.99.
