Wikipedia:
Humble Pie was an English rock band formed by Steve Marriott in Essex during 1969. They are known as one of the late 1960s' first supergroups and found success on both sides of the Atlantic with such songs as "Black Coffee", "30 Days in the Hole", "I Don't Need No Doctor" and "Natural Born Bugie". The original band line-up featured lead vocalist and guitarist Steve Marriott from Small Faces, vocalist and guitarist Peter Frampton from The Herd, former Spooky Tooth bassist Greg Ridley and a 17-year-old drummer, Jerry Shirley, from The Apostolic Intervention.

UCR Review by Dave Lifton:
A Humble Pie album that's remained in the vaults since 1975 was finally released this month.
Joint Effort came out on Feb. 8, and finds the band recording in its own Clear Sounds studio between 1974 and 1975. But the album was ultimately rejected by their label at the time, A&M.
The title reflects the work made by Steve Marriott and bassist Greg Ridley on a project outside of the band at the time. But after a stretch where Marriott unsuccessfully lobbied to be Mick Taylor's replacement in the Rolling Stones and the group saw its U.S. profile raised due to Eat It and Smokin', they reconvened with guitarist Dave Clempson and drummer Jerry Shirley.
In addition to never-before-heard originals, Joint Effort contains covers of songs recorded by the Beatles ("Rain" , Betty Wright ("Let Me Be Your Lovemaker" and James Brown ("Think". The first two tracks eventually made their way onto Street Rats, the last album Humble Pie made with the classic lineup.
"Everything was so self-destructive at that point," Shirley recalled of that period. "Everybody was doing everything in a dozen different directions and nothing was getting done. ... Steve's way of dealing with things was buying an ounce of coke every other day and burying himself in his studio. When you've got nothing but carte blanche studio time and all the coke in the world, all you do is record."
Joint Effort is now available for on CD, digital or colored purple or white vinyl.
Editorial Review:
Digitally remastered archive release. A very special lost album recorded in 1974-75 at Clear Sounds Studio with the classic line-up of Steve Marriott on guitar/vocals, Greg Ridley on bass, Dave Clempson on guitar, and Jerry Shirley on drums. Never before heard original compositions by the band plus blazing covers of James Brown ("Think", The Beatles ("Rain" and Betty Wright ("Let Me Be Your Lovemaker".
