Excellent CD
That is "our" song and we wanted to use it as our first dance at our wedding. We purchased this item because we were looking for a non-live performance of "Baby, I Love Your Way". We found it on this album and we are very happy with the purchase.
The rest of the CD isn't bad either. :).


Not since "Are You Experienced?" has there been a perfect album
It does have a Steely Dan feel to it, but that's alright. Then I played this. It kicks off well with "Day's Dawning", and the version of "Show Me The Way" is no slouch, but the version on "Frampton Comes Alive" is still better. "Penny For Your Thoughts" is a fabulous showcase of Frampton's guitar work. There is one song that is weaker than the rest of this album, but it's still o. k. , and that's "Crying Clown". A tearful ballad, but still packs a good punch. Without a doubt Humble Pie was holding Frampton back, and he was wise to go onto being a solo artist. I would rank this up with Santana's "Caravanseri", and Lou Reed's "Rock and Roll Animal" as some of my classic 70's albums. I was hoping to hear a studio version of "Something's Happening" as that's my fave Frampton song. I will keep looking. .


nostalgia
High. I had the Frampton 8-track when I was in Jr. The CD was in excellent condition! What a bargain. Thanks for bringing back good memories.


Frampton's Masterpiece
One thing that will strike you is how crisp the recording is from the mid-70's. A classic, a record which holds up over many, many repeated listenings. Frampton's songwriting, guitar playing and voice were all peaking at this point in time. Several tunes here didn't become big hits until "Frampton Comes Alive" came out, but I much prefer this studio record. Overall it has a sparse acoustic sound to it that goes well in either the morning or evening.


good music
That's exactly what this album is- a nice listen. I went into this album expecting a pleasant listen, because the few songs I know from Peter Frampton have shown me that he is a pretty good songwriter who just writes nice music. I didn't hear any wild guitar playing (not that I went in expecting to) but I did hear a listenable collection of nice tunes.

The way Peter Frampton seems to *almost* write ballads, but insists on throwing in *just* the right amount of guitar playing as a way to seemingly trick the listener into thinking he's writing a ballad when in fact it's actually somewhere in between a ballad and a rocker, is probably his trademark sound. That's the thing I always remember about him, anyway.

Another thing- the back of the album says this album was recorded in a castle, and Frampton comments on how freaky that is, and how the music reflects that. Not really. Now, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath is an album recorded in a castle that really SOUNDS like it was.

Anyway, this album is just what I expected- a nice listen with nice songs coming from a nice guy. It's nice to hear versions of "Show Me The Way" and "Baby I Love Your Way" that AREN'T from Frampton Comes Alive. In the case of "Show Me The Way", there's a certain empty vibe about it that the live version seemed to fill, and surpass. "Penny For Your Thoughts - (I'll Give You) Money" is a really good, energetic way to end the album, too. The former being a good instrumental, and the final song being a pretty decent rocker. Good music. .
