Peter Frampton - "Frampton Comes Alive"
STILL SEALED Original 1976 Analog Mastering on UK virgin vinyl = PURE PERFECTION!!!  It has stunning AUDIOPHILE sound quality, very different sound from a digital remaster, or later reissued LP pressing.
no cuts no holes on this beauty.
Note that this 2LP set is not a new reissue, but is the Original 1977 UK Limited Edition pressing, I have another opened copy of this in my collection, this was the one I saved for decades as "still sealed import" as a collector.  Now the time has come to part with some of my very favorite collectibles, and let others enjoy what I have enjoyed owning all these years.  I think that this LP had a sticker on outside of shrink wrap advertising the "limited edition on pink coloured vinyl" which has fallen off.

DO NOT PASS ON THIS SET IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR AN ORIGINAL IN TOP CONDITION, THEY NEVER SHOW UP LIKE THIS ONE WHICH HAS BEEN STORED AWAY FOR DECADES IN COOL CLIMATE CONTROLLED ROOM.

Frampton Comes Alive! is a double live album by English rock musician Peter Frampton released in 1976, and one of the best-selling live albums in the United States. Following four solo albums with little commercial success, Frampton Comes Alive! was a major breakthrough for the artist.
Singles and Chart Action Released on January 6, 1976, it debuted on the charts at 191. The album reached number one on the Billboard 200 the week ending April 10, 1976, and was in the top spot for a total of 10 weeks. It was the best-selling album of 1976, selling over 6 million copies in the US and became one of the best-selling live albums to date. Frampton Comes Alive! was voted "Album of the year" in the 1976 Rolling Stone readers poll. It stayed on the chart for 97 weeks and was still #14 on Billboard's 1977 year-end album chart.
The most recognizable songs from the album are "Show Me the Way", "Baby, I Love Your Way", and "Do You Feel Like We Do", all of which were released as singles, and continue to receive much airplay on classic rock radio stations.  The talk box guitar effect became strongly associated with Frampton when it was heard on the latter two singles. The "Do You Feel Like We Do" single version was edited to 7:19 from the 14:15 album version. But even at just over 7 minutes, it is about twice the length of the average hit single and one of the longest ever to make the top 40 (even The Beatles' "Hey Jude" ran 7:11). Oddly enough, the B-side of "Do You Feel Like We Do", the acoustic instrumental "Penny for Your Thoughts", was the shortest song on Frampton Comes Alive at just 1:23.
Background and recording The album was recorded in summer and fall 1975, primarily at Winterland in San Francisco, California and the Long Island Arena in Commack, New York. The Winterland recordings were recorded on a 24 track master recorder. Other concerts were recorded on a 16 track recorder. Recordings from four different shows were used for the original album. Master tapes were recorded at 15 inches per second using professional Dolby "A" noise reduction.  During the concerts, Frampton principally used a distinctive black custom Gibson Les Paul electric guitar (with three humbucking pickups as opposed to the usual two).
