This
is a pretty star-studded recording - Stevie Wonder, Mick Jagger and Ringo Starr
all pop on this album in various guises. I guess when you release a successful
album like Frampton Comes Alive!,
your next album is always going to attract attention from certain quarters.
Frampton Comes Alive! was one of the
first records I ‘borrowed’ from my Dad’s collection - and like most people, I
know that album much better than his studio albums.
It seems that ...Alive! was
Frampton’s peak - and all that remained for his solo career was a slippery
slope downhill. The cover of this album says it all - his career is no longer
aimed at fans of Humble Pie and classic rock in general; it’s now aimed at the
bedroom walls of pubescent teenage girls.
Hit: Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I’m
Yours)
Hidden Gem: Won’t You Be My Friend
It has to be said, that is an exceptionally beautiful album cover.
