Go For The Throat

POLYDOR, 1981

he second of two forgettable 80s (where Marriot suffered the indignity of coming off second-best to the much earlier Rod Stewart version as recorded with the Jeff Beck Group) and the old Small Faces hit (where he suffered the even greater indignity of coming off second-best to his younger self). The cash-in tour that followed sold so badly it was cancelled, and Humble Pie called it a day for the last time. A sad ending to a once great British band. Not least as it’s easy to imagine them having made a successful comeback now.
