Reviews :
Intervention's Frampton@50 series reissues are 100% Analog Mastered by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering from the best analog tape sources available. Intervention worked for months with Universal's archive team, scouring the vaults in the US and UK for the best-sounding tapes . Several sets of tapes, including 1970s-era tape copies, were sent to mastering and evaluated by IR's Shane Buettner and Chris Bellman. The best-sounding tapes are 1/2" safety copies from the 1990s A&M Safety Program. The Wind of Change and Framption safeties are sourced UK Production Masters, while the Frampton's Camel safety is sourced from the Original Stereo Master Tapes. These tapes sound sensational, vibrant, detailed and alive. Combined with Chris Bellman's work at the board, and the superbly transparent mastering chain at Bernie Grundman Mastering, legions of fans will hear what Peter and the band really put on tape during this seminal period. Fans will hear bottom-end authority, dynamics and textural details never revealed on any previous edition. These are the definitive versions of these amazing albums that made Peter Frampton one of the greatest artists of his time!
Wind of Change : “Peter Frampton's solo debut after leaving Humble Pie (as they stood on the brink of stardom) spotlights Frampton's well-crafted, though lyrically lightweight, songwriting and his fine guitar playing. The songs on Wind of Change are built primarily around acoustic guitar foundations, but "It's a Plain Shame" and "All I Want to Be (Is by Your Side)" sound like they could have been lifted off Humble Pie's Rock On. The sound is crisp, the melodies catchy, and Frampton's distinctive, elliptical Gibson Les Paul guitar leads soar throughout. A comparison between this album and Humble Pie's post-Frampton turn to generic boogie-rock shows why Frampton left that group. Although Humble Pie's Smokin' was much more successful, hitting the Top Ten in the spring of 1972, Wind of Change was far superior musically. With its mix of ballads and upbeat numbers with just enough of a rock edge, Wind of Change showed Frampton at his creative peak. The band here includes Ringo Starr, Billy Preston, and Klaus Voorman.” AllMusic Review by Jim Newsom
Frampton's Camel : “Named after Frampton's touring band at the time, Frampton's Camel has a harder-rocking feel than its predecessor Wind of Change, with Mick Gallagher's percussive electric piano and organ taking a prominent position in the mix and Frampton getting a harder sound from his electric guitars (though his acoustic playing is so lush and lyrical that it dominates the album here and there in its quiet way). The sound on this recording lays out the formula that Frampton would take to mega-success three years later with the release of Frampton Comes Alive. The songs are all first-rate or close to it -- included here is the original studio version of the group composition "Do You Feel Like We Do," a quicker-tempo, extended (albeit less majestic) version of which appeared on the latter album and became a staple of classic-rock radio, but the Frampton-composed "I Got My Eyes on You" and "Don't Fade Away" and the Frampton-Gallagher "All Night Long" are also compelling examples of '70s hard rock at its commercial best. This album also includes a nice cover of Stevie Wonder's "I Believe (When I Fall in Love With You It Will Be Forever)," the power ballad "Lines on My Face," the rollicking "White Sugar," and Frampton's gorgeously lyrical, all acoustic "Just the Time of the Year." As on Wind of Change, Frampton's use of dynamics and mix of acoustic and electric guitars keeps the music from becoming one-dimensional. The October 2000 CD reissue, remastered in state-of-the-art sound, adds an even more expansive feel to this album and enhances its melodic richness.” AllMusic Review by Jim Newsom
Frampton : “To quite a few rock fans, Peter Frampton seemingly fell off the face of the earth after his mega-hit Frampton Comes Alive! set. But hardcore Frampton fans know that the singer/guitarist has been touring consistently and issuing albums on a semi-regular basis all along, including 1994's self-titled effort. At various times in his career, Frampton has attempted obvious stabs at mainstream hits, and while the material here is as melodic as ever, it proves to be one of Frampton's strongest solo studio efforts in quite some time. Lending a hand is Journey keyboardist/songwriter Jonathan Cain, as well as one of the last-ever appearances on record by Frampton's former bandmate in Humble Pie, the late great Steve Marriott, on the album standout, "Out of the Blue." Frampton (who has long been one of rock's most overlooked guitarists) gets to show off his six-string skills on the bluesy album-opening title track, as well as on the rocking instrumental "Off the Hook" and the acoustic ditty "Young Island." If you've lost track of Frampton over the years, this is certainly not a bad album to get reacquainted with him.” AllMusic Review by Greg Prato
