AMG Review of Universal Masters Collection
James Christopher Monger
All Music GuideLike most Peter Frampton overviews, the Universal Masters Collection spends a lot of time focusing on the greatest and most widely available garage sale slab of vinyl (besides Carole King's Tapestry) of all time, 1976's Frampton Comes Alive!. That said, the biggest sin one can commit when compiling a Frampton anthology is to opt for the four-minute single version of "Do You Feel Like I Do" as opposed to all 14 glorious, high as a kite minutes of the original. Sadly, it's the former that appears here, but there are enough gems like "Shine On," "Baby, I Love Your Way," and "Show Me the Way" to make up for it. Fans looking for a more comprehensive collection should pick up 2005's superior two-disc Gold collection.
