Thunderbox

Digitally remastered edition of this 1974 album from the British Blues/Boogie band led by former Small Faces main man Steve Marriott. Twelve songs appear here, six of them covers, Ann Peebles song 'I Can't Stand the Rain' once referred to by John Lennon as the perfect single; 'Anna (Go to Him)' originally written and performed by Arthur Alexander and 'Oh La-De-Da' by the Staple Singers. Incidentally, the word Thunderbox is a 17th century slang word for the toilet which gives an example of Humble Pie's sense of humor. The cover shows a keyhole through which a woman can be seen sitting on a toilet. This reissue comes with new artwork and sleeve notes by Malcolm Dome who has interviewed members of the band to get the complete story. Lemon.
