guitar)

Also appearing as guests: Tim Hinkley (keyboards)
and Mel Collins (sax).
Scrubbers is a post-humous album
by the great Steve Marriott must contain outtakes from Humble Pie period.
Taking a look to the guest musicians credits, it's almost exactly as some
Humble Pie albums. My Spanish copy is titled "The last album", and it has
21 tracks (although credits say there are only 20!). Credited to Steve
Marriott / Tim Hinkley / Greg Ridley, other musicians involved are: Clem
Clempson (guitar), Boz Burrell (bass), B.J. Cole (steel guitar), Mel
Collins (sax), Ian Wallace (drums), Clydie King (vocals), Vanetta Fields

Sam Brown's parents), Mick Eve, and Alexis Korner. Produced by Steve Marriott
and Tim Hinkley, the material included is a bit loose. Some tracks sound
as unfinished, but some others are fantastic. Just an example: listen to
Tim's organ work on 'Cocaine (round my brain)'.
The album has been reissued by Eagle Records under
the title The Scrubbers Sessions, this time credited to Humble
Pie.
