Personally overseen by Peter Frampton, his legendary 1976 live album, "Frampton Comes Alive!," has been mixed in immersive Dolby Atmos®, allowing fans to experience the best-selling album like never before. It is available to stream here.
The live classic, which has also been newly remastered in stereo, was sourced from the original EQ'd ¼" stereo production master created in December 1975 by Doug Sax. The album was first remastered by Gavin Lurssen in stereo then mixed in Dolby Atmos by Chuck Ainlay using the new remaster as a guide. It was important to Frampton that this definitive Dolby Atmos mix reflect the original vinyl and match the song transitions and side splits.

Frampton Comes Alive! made Frampton an overnight superstar. Released by A&M on January 6, 1976, the double album reached #1 later by the end of month and held the position for 10 weeks. It remained on the charts for more than a year. Selling more than eight million copies the first year (and almost 18 million to date), the self-produced album spawned three hit singles: "Show Me The Way" (#6), "Do You Feel Like We Do" (#10) and "Baby, I Love Your Way" (#12).

"In an awe-inspiring evening flooded with timeless songs, Frampton – who really doesn't have anything to prove at this point – shows us the way and demonstrates once again why he's undeniably one of rock's finest guitarists; one who defies the odds and continues to thrill audiences, while still very much at the top of his game."
