1 FRAMPTON COMES ALIVE! AGAIN WITH 25TH ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL EDITION DVD-AUDIO OF THE BEST-SELLING LIVE ALBUM OF ALL TIME A special edition DVD-Audio of Peter Frampton’s breakthrough album Frampton Comes Alive!, released on February 2, 2004, is one of Universal Music Enterprises's premier titles in this new format. A two-disc package, newly remixed and remastered, Frampton Comes Alive!: 25th Anniversary DVD- Audio(A&M/UME) features not only the hits “Show Me The Way,” “Do You Feel Like We Do” and “Baby, I Love Your Way” but adds four previously unreleased tracks to the best-selling live album in history. In addition, the DVD-Audio contains never-before-seen footage from a 1976 performance, plus a recent 20 minute audio interview with the artist himself. This special issue celebrates one of the most popular albums of the rock era and the era itself for an entire generation. To augment the landmark release, Frampton personally sorted through eight shows originally taped for use in creating the 1976 album, and chose three songs not included largely due to the time constraints of the vinyl format. “Just The Time Of Year,” “Nowhere’s Too Far (For My Baby)” and “White Sugar” come from the same shows used to create the original album. In addition, to close the revamped album, Frampton selected a recording of “Days Dawning” from a live studio performance taped for a radio station promotion during the same time period. 2 Presented in an expansive deluxe package, the 25th Anniversary Deluxe Edition DVD-Audio sports the original cover and essay by Cameron Crowe, complemented by a booklet with new photos and additional liner notes, including where and when each track was recorded (details left off the original packaging). All of UMG's DVD-Audio releases have been remixed and remastered from the original multi-track masters, taking advantage of the superior Advanced Resolution surround and stereo sound quality available with DVD-Audio. UMG DVD-Audio discs will also play on existing DVD-Video players using Dolby Digital™ surround sound. To learn more about DVD-Audio and UMG releases, visit www.umusic.com/dvda. Frampton Comes Alive! made Frampton an overnight superstar. Released by A&M January 6, 1976, the double album reached #1 later that month, held the position for 10 weeks, and 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 album (which Frampton also produced) spawned three hit singles: “Show Me The Way” (#6), “Do You Feel Like We Do” (#10) and “Baby, I Love Your Way” (#12). Frampton Comes Alive! became the best-selling live album ever. Now, 25 years after its original release, Frampton Comes Alive! stands as the cornerstone of Frampton’s career--one which continues to prosper today with albums, tours and even an appearance in the recent hit film Almost Famous. But, most importantly, Frampton Comes Alive! stands as a cornerstone of rock ‘n’ roll history. ### PRESS CONTACT: Sujata Murthy, Universal 310-865-7812 Todd Nakamine, Universal 310-865-7797 Amy Gardner, Universal 310-865-9804 RADIO CONTACT: Elliot Kendall, Universal 310-865-9852 3 .
