Description:

This CD is from a project called "Joint Effort" that Steve Marriott and Greg Ridley had been working on prior to Humble Pie's last album, "Street Rats" (1975). Marriott asked Andrew Loog Oldham, an old acquaintance of Marriott's, to produce the CD, which is a prototype of "Street Rats" and was produced with the participation of Ian Wallace, Tim Hinckley, and other musicians who were not members of the band. It is a prototype of "Street Rats" and includes "Dis All World", "Midnight of My Life", "Snakes & Ladders", "Good Thing", "A Minute of Your Time", "Charlene", a cover of James Brown's "Synth", as well as a re-recorded version of "Street Rats". In addition to a cover of James Brown's "Sink," the album includes a re-recorded version of The Beatles' "Rain" and a cover of Betty Wright's "Lovemaker," both of which were included on "Street Rats. Includes a bilingual English commentary based on Jerry Shirley's testimony, which gives a clear picture of the band's situation at the time.
