Frampton guested during a few of the band's live shows in October which, although well received by audiences, seemingly did nothing to convince Marriott's reluctant bandmates to allow Frampton to join them on a permanent basis. Marriott had initially wanted Frampton to join the Small Faces as a second guitarist in order to expand their musical horizons, rather than form an entirely new group with him, but this proposal met with resistance from his Small Faces bandmates Ronnie Lane and Ian McLagan. Marriott, acting as mentor to his younger new friend, agreed to help Frampton find a new musical direction. Frampton was at something of a loose end professionally, having recently left the Herd. Marriott befriended Frampton during the latter months of 1968 and the pair bonded over their unwanted 'teen heart-throb' status in the UK and their shared desire to be taken more seriously as musicians. The original 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.
They are known as one of the first supergroups of the late 1960s and found success in the early 1970s with songs such as " Black Coffee", " 30 Days in the Hole", " I Don't Need No Doctor", " Hot 'n' Nasty" and " Natural Born Bugie". Big, and Kick Axe, and is a live staple of Canadian rock band The Trews.Humble Pie are an English rock band formed by guitarist and singer Steve Marriott in Moreton, Essex, in 1969. But the predominant group personality shown through by the song is Marriott's so much so that when years later Clempson was asked about efforts to reform the group without Marriott, he simply declaimed, "It's a waste of time."In the years since, "30 Days" has been recorded by several groups, most notably Gov't Mule, Mr. (Most lyrics listings get this wrong, and say "buzzed on" or "bust on".)Pie guitarist Clem Clempson has said it is one of the tracks he would most like his career to be remembered by. The song refers to Borstal - "some seeds and dust, and you got Borstal"- referring to Borstal Prison and its borstal ilk - any manner of a British juvenile gaol. "New Castle Brown" is often mistaken as a reference to Newcastle Brown Ale but actually refers to heroin also known as "Brown" or "Smack". The song, a Steve Marriott composition, bemoans being arrested for possession of small quantities of illegal drugs, including cocaine Durban poison, a potent strain of marijuana and Red Lebanese and Black Nepalese, two types of hashish. The B-side on its US release was "Sweet Peace and Time", while everywhere else the B-side featured "C'mon Everybody" and "Road Runner". However it gained a following on album oriented rock and classic rock radio formats and consequently it remains one of Humble Pie's best known songs. The song received moderate radio airplay at the time but failed to chart. "30 Days in the Hole" is the seventh single by English rock group Humble Pie, from the band's 1972 Smokin' album.
