'Wind Of Change' was the first solo album from ex-Herd and Humble Pie guitarist Peter Frampton. Even though the musicians on it include Ringo Starr and Billy Preston, the album failed to sell. Undaunted, Peter formed Frampton's Camel with Mike Kellie, Rick Wills and Mick Gallagher, but again commercial success was not forthcoming and this lineup disbanded in 1974. it would be two years before 'Frampton Comes Alive!' gave him unprecedented sales and acclaim. Digitally remastered and slip-cased, and with new notes. Review: Peter's Perfect Pair - Just after he quit Humble Pie, and a couple of years before Peter Frampton hit pay-dirt with his live double album Frampton Comes Alive, he brought out these two superb solo LPs which, to my ears anyway, far exceed the live album. It's hard to believe but I don't think they sold too well at the time, however the record company stuck with him and, I'm sure, eventually got their investment back. A great songwriter, accomplished vocalist and a hugely under-rated guitar player, these two records showcase Frampton's talents fantastically. Great rockers like It's A Plain Shame, White Sugar and the wonderful All Night Long sit alongside beautiful ballads Oh For Another Day, Lines On My Face and the achingly beautiful Don't Fade Away. Plus the string arrangements of Del Newman only add to the depth of these recordings. Inspired cover versions of Jumpin' Jack Flash and Stevie Wonder's I Believe When I Fall In Love It Will Be Forever are also not to be missed. Now in a remastered double-pack, Frampton's first two solo records are well worth investing in if you missed out on them first time 'round. Crikey, one track's even got a Beatle on drums! Review: 2 CD package. Great pacakge. - From his earlier days, these two albums are hard to find at a decent price. This double package is far cheaper to buy than buying the albums separately.

ona of my favorite albums of the seventies
I bought 'Wind Of Change' on it's release back in the early seventies on the strength of hearing Peter Frampton with Humble Pie on 'Rockin the Filmore'. I really like his melodic style of improvising, and think he is a much underated guitarist. Although not a great singer, he has an interesting voice which adds a unique sound to his songs. The album is not typical 'Pie', but does have some songs that could have fitted onto one of their albums;'Plain Shame', 'Jumpin Jack Flash' and 'Alright'. The other songs have some quirky lyrics, good melodies, and 'All I Want to Be' is worth the price on it's own. Ten times better than the accoustic version on 'Frampton Comes Alive'!!!Turn up the volume on the long fade out to hear everything! 'Frampton's Camel' is a good listern, and has a collection of typical Frampton songs, but one or two weaker songs which means it doesn';t quite match the standard of his debut album. All in all, a must for anyone who loves classic rock from this period. Buy it!!!

Double the pleasure - two albums in one
His two earliest albums after The Herd and Humble Pie. The songs are classics and have stood the test of time. There are some famous people from the time backing him on some of the tracks which proves his popularity. Just as famous people are joining him today on his Guitar Circus tour.

Old but fresh
I never did get around to buying any Peter Frampton in 1973, as a hard up sixth former cash was needed for other pursuits I did later buy the classic Frampton Comes Alive first on record and later as a CD. Its still in my collection Feeling totally jaded and with no interest in the bland stuff that fills the album charts ( Cheryl Cole straight to No 1, oh please} I took a chance on this double set. Its good stuff, and if you want some early Peter Frampton a bit of a bargain too.I will keep it in my collection as an antidote to 21st century dross.

Mit diesen beiden (damals) LPs aus den Jahren 1972 (Winds of change) und 1973 (Framptons Camel = diesmal keine Herde wie bei der Gruppe HERD, der Frampton ca. 1966/67 angehörte) machte sich Peter Frampton nach seinem Weggang von Steve Mariotts HUMBLE PIE selbständig. Der Grund war, dass ihm Humble Pies Musikrichtung zu blueslastig bzw. zu hard-rocklastig war und er seiner Gitarrenkunst mit melodischerer Musik mehr Geltung verschaffen wollte, die unter anderem auch schöne Baladen beinhalten sollte. Von der erstgenannten CD möchte ich besonders empfehlen: All I want to be (ist by your side) Von der zweitgenannten (Camel) : das bekannte :- Lines on my face (mit einem hervorragenden E-Gitarrensolo im Mittelteil) - Dont fade away (abwechslungsreich) - Just the time of year Die beiden letztgenannten Songs scheinen weniger bekannt zu sein, besonders "Just the time of year" sticht als sehr schöne, emotional berührende Ballade mit ansprechendem Gesang hervor. Generell kann man sagen, dass Frampton sich mit diesen beiden LPs musikalisch " freischwamm ". Leider erfreuen sie sich nicht allzu grosser Bekanntheit. Diese kam dann erst 1976 ( mit der überall bekannten LP Frampton comes alive).

These are two incredible albums by Peter Framption, his first two right after his departure from Humble Pie. Wind of Change starts out with what I feel are some of Peter's best songs including Fig Tree Bay, the title cut and Lady Lie Right. Oh For Another Day is a great song, too. White Sugar highlights Frampton's Camel and is filled with great songs as well. Getting both CDs here in one package is fantastic! 70s rock at it's' best!
