"Street Rats" was the eighth studio album by the English rock group Humble Pie, released in 1975.
The album captures Humble Pie mid-implosion; in fact, according to the group’s members, it wasn’t even supposed to be a Humble Pie record at all. Bandleader Steve Marriott, burned out after one too many tours, wanted to take a break from making the band his top priority, and although their label, A&M Records, was impatient for more Pie product, he opted instead to begin work on three LPs — a solo album, a duo record with the group’s bassist Greg Ridley, and a proper Pie release.
Unsurprisingly, between this scattershot creative approach and the musicians’ overall burnout, the results were not exactly coherent.
The album went to #100 on the Billboard 200 album chart in the United States.
