This year marks 50 years since Peter Frampton released his double LP “Frampton Comes Alive”. The live performance album took the rock music world by storm and spent 10 weeks at the top of the Billboard 200 Album chart. It has since been certified eight times platinum.
In celebration of the 50th anniversary of the album’s release, Ume and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Peter Frampton is releasing a special edition of “Frampton Comes Alive”.
On January 22 a Vinylphyle edition of the album makes the album available on vinyl once again. The double album comes with a four panel foldout that includes a new interview with Frampton.
Peter Frampton spoke on the album’s anniversary saying, “I can’t believe it’s now been 50 years since Frampton Comes Alive! was released, but that record still feels like a living, breathing moment in my life. When we decided to do this Vinylphyle edition, it was important to me that it be done the right way. I personally asked that the audio be sourced from the original 1975 Doug Sax production master because I wanted it to sound exactly as we heard it back then. This album was born onstage, and hearing it presented this way on vinyl feels like bringing that energy back to life for longtime fans and new listeners alike.”
