About this product

Formed in January 1969, Humble Pie soon became one of the best-loved, hardest-rocking live acts of the 1970s. In Steve Marriott, the one-time Small Faces frontman, InchThe PieInch had the best showman & biggest voice in the business. Peter Frampton, the InchFace of '68Inch with The Herd had a new role - guitar hero extraordinaire. And with hard-hitting powerhouse drummer Jerry Shirley & ex-Spooky Tooth bassist supreme Greg Ridley, Humble Pie quickly developed into a sophisticated studio unit where tough riffs, rustic rock & bursts of blissed-out psychedelia earned the band instant chart success & critical acclaim. 'As Safe As Yesterday Is' was their debut album for Immediate Records on 1 August 1969, reaching no. 32 in the UK charts. Recorded at Olympic & Morgan studios with top engineer Andy Johns, the album featured a ground-breaking blend of heavy blues, hard rock, pastoral folk & acoustic songs, all superbly produced. Unknown at the time was the controversy surrounding the disappearance of the master tape enroute from Olympic Studios in London to the mastering studio in New York. Panicked phone calls for a replacement only yielded a much-played listening copy tape, not intended for production & certainly not to the quality needed to cut an LP. The band were horrified when they heard the finished LP with it's flat, muffled sound. Despite Andrew Oldham's wholehearted support of Humble Pie above the other artists on his tag, Immediate Records were in financial difficulties & could not afford to withdraw the LP. By March 1970, Immediate Records were in liquidation, with it's master tapes lost or stolen. Immediate LPs, including 'As Safe As Yesterday Is', soon disappeared from record store racks, it's master tape never found.. Later CD & LP reissues were copied from old vinyl, with labels not realising or caring the sound quality was poor. Until now. For many years, Ke

Omega - Omega & Iii   - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

More than 50 million records sold, LP productions in Hungarian, German and English, tours and festival appearances throughout Europe and Japan, at least 50 cover versions or adaptations of the world hit InchGyöngyhajú lányInch - Omega are Hungary's number one rock export. In 2022, the band will be celebrating it's 60th stage anniversary, making it one of the longest-serving rock formations in the world. - On St. Nicholas Day, December 06, 2021, singer and founding member János Kóbor passed away due to the coronavirus. Now the Omega albums from the well-known and successful Bacillus era will be re-released originally and completely on CD, vinyl and digitally. - After a few trips into symphonic and psychedelic rock realms, Omega presented themselves on InchIIIInch, released at the end of 1974, again more down to earth Nine crisp hard rock tracks, only one exceeding the four-minute mark. For this album, Peter Hauke, still producer, and Omega not only used current material, but also included songs that had already been recorded in the Hungarian original in 1969 InchStormy FireInch and InchSpanish GuitarInch. In order to attract a broader audience, the songs had been pared down, instrumental soloing was reduced. In order to attract a broader audience, the songs had been pared down, instrumental soloing was reduced. Although Omega had always flirted with progressive stylistic means since their turn to psychedelic rock in 1969, this time they kept their hands off intricate arrangements. Instead, they turned towards the zeitgeist by including rather blunt rock tunes like InchStormy FireInch, InchGo On The SpreeInch and InchFancy JeepInch in the list, which could also please a glam rock fan and passionate consumer of single hits by bands like The Sweet and Slade. - The series with re-releases of Omega from the catalog of the rock tag Bacillus will continue.

Vulcano - Epilogue   - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

In the course of High Roller's select back catalogue reissues from Vulcano, the tag also releases a remastered version of the band's latest full-length InchEpilogueInch, which was self-published by mastermind Zhema in early 2024. The group's 13th longplayer sees the core duo - guitarist/main songwriter Zhema guitars and singer Luiz Carlos Louzada have been working together since 1997 - in top form, highlighting their unique chemistry. InchI have no one who could replace Luiz Carlos,Inch, Zhema ponders. InchI give him a vocal line, and he returns it much improved, it's just impressive!Inch Given the high intensity of the material, which leaves nothing but scorched earth in less than 30 minutes, one has to wonder why the Brazilian legends had to it on their own. InchIt had been ready since February 2024, and I offered it to record companies but didn't get any positive feedbackInch, Zhema reveals. InchOn the other hand, I believed that it deserved a vinyl pressing, so I'm happy to team up with High Roller to this effect.Inch And if you want to take the title InchEpilogueInch literally, you are mistaken, since Zhema's already working on new stuff to keep Brazil's old-school spirit alive. InchThere are bands all over the country now,Inch he concludes Inchbut progress brought a lot of technique in the execution of songs, which - In my opinion - quickly becomes boring.Inch
