-Descripcion Original:

By the time Peter Frampton assisted in lifting the record industry to a new era of mega-sales with 1976s Frampton Comes Alive! hed been a professional recording artist for nearly a decade. A teen Face of 68 with the Herd, he quickly stepped up to arena-rock status with Steve Marriott in the quintessential boogie band, Humble Pie. (In a nice touch, Frampton later played that bands road manager in filmmaker Cameron Crowes 70s period piece Almost Famous.) Soon, though, the guitarist went his own way with a melodic, Americanized pop-rock sound. At first a minor favorite of the eras FM DJs, Framptons catalog proved the stuff of platinum dreams when culled for highlights on Alive!. Catchy if occasionally gimmicky (the talking guitar routine on Do You Feel Like We Do, which paradoxically or not became his most credibility-laden tune when stretched to 14 minutes on the live LP), his music ended up one of the decades defining artifacts. This history-minded disc offers Herd, Pie, and solo tracks, the latter mostly in studio versions. The breathtakingly weak ballad Im in You, the best he could offer as a follow-up to his massive score, landed him in Manilow territory and helped relegate him to also-ran status by decades end. --Rickey Wright Anthology: The History Of Peter Frampton by Peter Frampton
