List of Humble Pie band members: The following list details musicians who have been members of the English rock band Humble Pie.  The original lineup consisted on Steve Marriott, Jerry Shirley, Greg Ridley and Peter Frampton.  Frampton left the band in 1971 and was replaced by Clem Clempson who remained with them until the band broke up in 1975.  Since 1975 there have been a number of reformations of the band including various original members and additional musicians.  Between 1989 and 1999 original drummer Jerry Shirley obtained the rights to the band's name and began performing with new musicians, and Steve Marriott's blessing, as Humble Pie featuring Jerry Shirley.

This Side of Paradise (album): This Side of Paradise is the second solo studio album released by Ric Ocasek, lead singer and songwriter of The Cars.  It was released in 1986 by Geffen Records.  Though it was a solo album, other members of The Cars played significant roles.  Greg Hawkes plays keyboards and bass throughout the album (he appears on most of Ocasek's solo albums), and also co-wrote "Hello Darkness" (most Cars albums feature one Ocasek/Hawkes tune).  Benjamin Orr is on backing vocals for three songs.  Along with Hawkes and Orr, the track "True To You" also features Elliot Easton on guitar.  Had drummer David Robinson been present, the song would have been an unofficial Cars reunion.  Both production and drumming were by Chris Hughes (formerly known as "Merrick", drummer for Adam and the Ants).  Hughes was the recent producer of Tears for Fears most popular two albums.  Steve Stevens from Billy Idol's band plays guitar on over half the songs.

Steve Marriott: Stephen Peter Marriott (30 January 1947 – 20 April 1991) was an English musician, songwriter and frontman of two notable rock and roll bands, spanning over two decades.  Marriott is remembered for his powerful singing voice which belied his small stature, and for his aggressive approach as a guitarist in mod rock bands Small Faces (1965–1969 and 1977-1978) and Humble Pie (1969–1975 and 1980–1981).  Marriott was inducted posthumously into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012 as a member of Small Faces.

The 1991 re-issue was remixed by Ocasek and bass player Darryl Jenifer.  The re-issued version has some extra tracks, an altered track order, significantly different mixes and, on most tracks, a speed increase of the master which results in a raising of the pitch by one-half step.
