The Pre-Order Has Begun!
Grammy Award-winning guitarist Peter Frampton and Intervention Records have announced the Artist-Approved Frampton@50 Limited Edition Vinyl Box Set. The box set is numbered and limited to 2,500 copies and is now available for pre-order, shipping to customers July 28, 2023.
The Peter Frampton webstore also has an exclusive allocation of 250 Frampton@50 vinyl box sets that include an autographed version of the Frampton's Camel promo poster referenced below, with the proceeds benefitting the Peter Frampton Myositis Research Fund. This version can be ordered HERE.
The Frampton@50 Limited Edition Vinyl Box Set is comprised of meticulously restored 180G reissues of the essential 1972-1975 studio releases that put Peter Frampton on the map, Wind of Change, Frampton’s Camel and Frampton. The limited box set also comes with an authentic reproduction of the Peter Frampton promo poster that was included only in the earliest original LP copies of Frampton’s Camel and a Certificate of Authenticity with a message from Peter.
These reissues are 100% Analog Mastered by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering from the best-sounding analog tape sources available. The flat, quiet 180g vinyl is pressed at boutique press Gotta Groove Records in Cleveland, Ohio.
Intervention approached the Frampton@50 album art restoration with the same attention to detail and authenticity as the audio. The jackets for all three Frampton@50 Series LPs are Old Style “tip ons” by Stoughton Printing, with Wind of Change and Frampton’s Camel sporting “brown-in” blanks true to the UK original LP releases. Frampton original LPs came with an inner sleeve with lyrics printed on both sides, which Intervention has expanded to comprise the interior panels of a gorgeous single-LP gatefold. All three LP jackets are printed on heavy stock, and film laminated for enhanced beauty and durability.
The box is a deluxe slip case, with a matte-textured finish and spot Gloss UV highlighting the main image, and double-pass foil numbering.
The Frampton@50 Series studio releases are also available for pre-order on hybrid CD/SACDs ($30 ea.) which play on all CD and SACD players. These CD/SACDs feature the same remastered audio as the 180G LPs, mastered by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering Direct-to-DSD from analog tapes. The CD/SACDs will ship in April, 2023. All three can be pre-ordered HERE.
