Rocks In The Attic #148: Peter Frampton - ‘I’m In You’ (1977)

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
