Please keep in mind, we would prefer to continue to provide you the opportunity to acquire the rare music we present each and every week. Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office. Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has become very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our well over 18,000 positive feedback. We use an ultrasonic KLAudio machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery.

"Made In England" ~ IMMEDIATE RECORDS - IMSP 027
ORIGINAL 1970 UK-ONLY ISSUE on former Rolling Stones manager Andrew Loog Oldham's IMMEDIATE label::::
"Town and Country" is Humble Pie's second album consisting of Steve Marriott on guitar and vocals, previously of 'The Small Faces,' Peter Frampton, also on guitar and vocals, previously of 'The Herd', Greg Ridley on bass guitar, previously of 'Spooky Tooth,' and drummer Jerry Shirley who played on Syd Barrett's "Madcap Laughs" Lp. "Town & Country" is really the 'sister' album to "As Safe As Yesterday" and compliments that first album so well. Brilliant musicians/songwriters/singers that these guys were, they merely continued with the more rural edged and acoustic guitars oriented music that they occasionally performed on their first album. They are still searching for and working on forming a cohesive, collective identity here. Town and Country is a bridge to their third, self-titled effort "Humble Pie" [1970]. It's a pleasure to hear the tight rhythm section backing the excellent guitar playing and singing of Marriott and Frampton. Frampton's songs hint at his early solo work to come (Take Me Back and Only You Can Say stand out). Marriott quits screaming for long enough to contribute some fine numbers (Every Mother's Son and Silver Tongue especially). Nice cover of a Buddy Holly forgotten chestnut (Heartbeat). The album ends with a flourish, Home And Away, co-written by Frampton, Marriott, and bassist Greg Ridley. Of noteworthy mention though, however, is the entirely acoustic piece, 'Every Mother's Son,' features only the duel leads of Frampton and Marriott on guitar, no bass, no drums, no percussion. Every little bit of emotion is squeezed from both players and especially from Marriott's voice - leading to the magnificent crescendo that starts about halfway through and peaks at the very end with shouts of ecstasy from Marriott (that's one hell of a build up.) Other tracks worth noting: 'Sad Bag of Shaky Jake,' probably the purest rocker on the album, but not in any sense of the word straightforward or bland. The fabulous mid-tempo rocker, 'Cold Lady,' with rough harmonies from at least two or three of the band members (the roughness is a good thing, adds to the song's already raw quality.) The thoroughly raucous and warmly emotional 'Down Home Again,' in which Steve Marriott's got a girl back home that calls him her own, but he calls his wife.
