As Safe As Yesterday Is

AT LAST! The album as it was MEANT to SOUND! Formed in January 1969, Humble Pie soon became one of the best-loved, hardest-rocking live acts of the 1970s. Comprised of Steve Marriott, Peter Frampton, Jerry Shirley and Greg Ridley, they released their debut album 'As Safe As Yesterday Is' on Andrew Loog Oldham's legendary Immediate Records on 1 August 1969. A UK chart hit LP featuring a ground-breaking blend of heavy blues, hard rock, pastoral folk and acoustic songs. The original album was blighted by poor sound quality when the master tape meant to cut the LP was lost. With no time to create a new master, a much-played and worn listening tape was substituted, resulting in a dull, muffled sound. The band were horrified when they heard the album played on the radio but to make matters worse, six months after release, Immediate Records went into liquidation and the LP disappeared from record stores. Later reissues (including CD's) were dubbed from old vinyl LPs with even poorer sound quality - until now! After years of searching, safety master tapes were found in New York which meant the very best sound could be achieved. No longer horrified, Peter Frampton and Jerry Shirley can at last say 'As Safe As Yesterday Is' "sounds fabulous!" UK hit single 'Natural Born Bugie' ('Natural Born Woman' in the US) has been restored to the album while the CD adds six bonus tracks, including four studio outtakes.
