One autumnal number I'd been hoping to place in last Sunday's Autumn Falls mix was Humble Pie's Wrist Job. An oddly titled outtake from As Safe As Yesterday Is. A performance rumbling along on a slow-shifting tidal swell of heavy Hammond, roof-raising gospel vocals and one runaway bass, all of which come crashing together in heady perfection between 3:00 and 3:30
As much as I love the track, it's just too, well, potent and powerful to sit alongside the soft footfall required for last Sunday's mix.
Humble Pie - Wrist Job
However, a Wrist Job-lite can be traced back to a track from Steve Marriot's previous band The Small Faces, where it had an instrumental run out under the title of The Pig's Trotters.
The Small Faces - The Pig's Trotters
Oh, and the tweety-bird samples bookending Autumn Falls come from this and this.

I love both of those tunes. You can tell a similar sound in both. Definitely some cool songs. Never heard either of them before. They hit the spot this morning.
I like “The Pig’s Trotters” Instrumental, cool name!
They are fairly obscure Keith - but I've been giving them a heavy hammering lately..
The Small Faces have made some mighty instrumentals Lil. The Picanniny, Wide Eyed Girl On The Wall, The Collibosher - I really must post some more..
