5.0 out of 5 stars More to Peter Frampton than voicebox solos & fire crackers, May 18, 2005

Finally, a chance to show the world that there's more to Peter Frampton than voicebox solos and fire crackers...
I have over 1,000 albums on vinyl but for some strange reason only WINDS OF CHANGE & COMES ALIVE are included...other Frampton albums I owned (FRAMPTON & SOMETHING'S HAPPENING) were on 8 Track.
I cannot wait to get this double CD, pop it in and crank up the volumn to, ohhh maybe 11, and listen to studio versions of ITS A PLAIN SHAME, ALL I WANT TO BE (IS BY YOUR SIDE), SOMETHIN'S HAPPENING, and NOWHERE"S TO FAR FOR MY BABY as well as the more sedate NASSAU/BABY I LOVE YOUR WAY.
And while I didn't enjoy a lot of Peter's post ALIVE output (long story, involves old girlfriend...) I liked enough of it to look forward to revealing some unknown (to me)gems in Disc 2...and that's half the fun of these career spanning collections. There's very few performers that you can follow for an entire career .
My advise is "Buy it for Disc One, enjoy it more for Disc 2"

5.0 out of 5 stars If this is the ONLY Frampton cd you buy this year..., March 12, 2007

If this is the only Frampton cd you buy this year, you will not be wasting your money. This cd compiles songs from his early solo albums thru the 2003 release of Now. Most but not all of the best songs from those albums are included on this. You will miss out on some great songs just buying this, but if your not a big Frampton Fan, this cd will turn you into one!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Retrospective, November 16, 2005

This review is from: Gold (Audio CD)

This is by far the most comprehensive Peter Frampton collection to date spanning 1972 through 2003. He only had four major hits: "Nassau/Baby I Love Your Way", "Show Me The Way", "I'm In You" and "I Can't Stand It No More". The rest of the album consists of select album cuts, instrumentals and cover songs that brilliantly showcase a gifted and versatile musician who shows no signs of waning yet.
