Humble Pie – Town & Country

1969 rarity finally remastered on Exclusive Numbered 180-gram WHITE vinyl. Humble Pie's critically acclaimed second album was all set to launch the band into superstardom when their record label suddenly collapsed, taking the LP out of UK record shops just 4 MONTHS after going on sale, while in the USA, the LP was not released. 'Town And Country' appeared in the UK quicker than it disappeared, released in November 1969 barely three months after debut 'As Safe As Yesterday Is'. Immediate Records announced it was bucking the trend by releasing early to capitalise on the debut LP's Top 30 success, a No.4 hit single in 'Natural Born Bugie' and acres of press generated by music journalists fascinated by a new supergroup" formed by one-time Small Faces frontman Steve Marriott, Peter Frampton from The Herd, powerhouse drummer Jerry Shirley and ex-Spooky Tooth bassist Greg Ridley. In reality and unknown to the band, Immediate Records were in trouble. Andrew Oldham's innovative label was suffering financial problems due a dispute with their American distributor that had prevented Immediate from releasing in the USA since June 1969. Forced to take his label independent, Oldham used his own money so the first LP and retitled single 'Natural Born Woman' could be released while Humble Pie wowed crowds on a two-month US tour."
