#THROWBACK: Peter Frampton, October 27, 1976

Welcome to the latest edition of AQ’s #THROWBACK series featuring our 1976 cover story with Peter Frampton!

On this day in 1976, Peter Frampton scored his first No. 1 album here in the U.S. with the still-beloved Frampton Comes Alive! LP, which had been released in January of that year. It also sat atop the charts in other country, including Canada, Australia, and Portugal. Since it came out 49 years ago, it has been certified more than 8x Platinum.
