Milestone: Frampton Comes Alive!

Released on this date in 1976, Peter Frampton’s landmark live album, Frampton Comes Alive, is released in the US.  The album would eventually produce three hit singles, including “Show Me The Way” (#6 Pop), “Do You Feel Like We Do” (#10 Pop), and “Baby I Love Your Way” (#12 Pop). “Frampton Comes Alive” becomes one of the biggest selling live albums of all time, and of course was one of A&M’s top sellers as well, topping the Billboard album chart for ten weeks (non-consecutively).

The album has many reissues.  The original double album was released as a single CD, but a two-disc deluxe edition adds four unreleased tracks, and resequences the songs into the concert running order.  The deluxe edition was also released as an SACD.
