As Safe as Yesterday Is is the debut studio album by English rock band Humble Pie, released in August 1969.

[5][6] While the group, featuring Steve Marriott (former frontman of Small Faces) and Peter Frampton (former frontman of the Herd), had technically formed in January 1969, Marriott's final touring commitments to his former band followed by legal wrangles with Frampton's old management had delayed any album releases until August, during which time the band rehearsed and recorded enough material to fill at least three albums.

It is thought to be one of the last tracks Marriott recorded with the Small Faces before leaving them in early 1969, and if finished it may have been intended for the band's abandoned fourth album.

Humble Pie's finished version of the track, now complete with lyrics, had long been rumoured to prominently feature Small Faces keyboardist Ian McLagan.

In truth however, while McLagan is indeed known to have rehearsed with the new group at least once while considering his post-Small Faces options, the distinctive keyboard part on the Humble Pie recording is performed by Marriott himself.
