THE ALBUM OF THE DAY
PETER FRAMPTON...Frampton Comes Alive (1976)
(CD, vinyl, Allmusic review)
The only complaint I have with this album is that the sound quality is not that great. I have not heard the 2001 release which I've been told has an improved sound to it. But for 35 years now I have enjoyed this album immensely. It is still fun to listen to, it still rocks, it's still youthful. The highlights for me are still the 3 most popular tracks..."Baby, I Love Your Way," "Show Me The Way" and "Do You Feel Like We Do". It is highly recommended, but you probably knew that anyway. Put it on, enjoy it again
