"I'll throw my two cents into the 'greatest rock vocalists' ring: Steve Marriott. He's the one for me...Boogie rock with a thick bottom end and lots of cowbell topped by Marriott's searing strutting cock voice is as much fun now as it was back then...I've got an original brown label A&M and it's always sounded good because A&M was a sound-conscious label with its own mastering room and recording studio but this Kevin Gray remaster smokes it in every way!...Very highly recommended!" Music = 9/11; Sound = 9/11 - Michael Fremer, musicangle.com

When Peter Frampton left Humble Pie, the band he co-founded, the group replaced him with fireball guitarist Clem Clemson. And Humble Pie grew a whole lot more raucous, more freewheeling and downright greasy. Smokin', the first album with Clemson, is unquestionably their greatest with Steve Marriott's soulful wail totally unleashed. Smokin' yielded the group's most memorable anthem - "30 Days In The Hole." Cut by Kevin Gray at AcousTech Mastering with the most intense attention paid to every minute detail, this reissue is positively Smokin'!

Ok, so I didn't really know this LP and was taking a bit of a punt. I do have and enjoy the "Rockin' The Fillmore" Dbl on Classic - so not too much of a reach, especially as Kevin Gray has got his hands on it. As I was listening I had a thought - which is, if this LP came out today it would probably be hailed as the LP of the year. Yet in the year it came out, its definately in the top 100 but certainly not the best. This sounds like rock music should sound, cranked up and grooving on the hard driving numbers and relaxed and intricate on the acoustic interludes. For me 1954 to 1979 was where it was at. I am not some luddite who only listens to old stuff but no current band are doing stuff that is as innovative or sounds as good as this does. The vinyl revival goes on and for me it is a dream come true!
