“As Safe as Yesterday Is” is the debut album by rock band
Humble Pie, released in the UK in August 1969. The album peaked at number 32 in
the UK album chart.
Featuring former frontmen Steve Marriott (ex–Small Faces) and Peter Frampton (ex–The Herd).
“As Safe as Yesterday Is” is a blend of heavy blues, crushing rock, pastoral folk, and post-mod pop. Marriott contributed six songs to the album, one co-written with Frampton, who also contributed two solo efforts. The record opens with a cover version of Steppenwolf's "Desperation" and the track "Growing Closer" was written by ex–Small Faces keyboardist Ian McLagan who actually rehearsed with Humble Pie early on, before deciding instead to form The Faces with Rod Stewart, Ron Wood, Kenney Jones, and Ronnie Lane.
