The Pieces Fit: Omnivore Reissues Three From Peter Frampton

June 29, 2015 By Joe Marchese 2 Comments

Peter Frampton - PremonitionFollowing the label's deluxe, expanded box set edition of Humble Pie's legendary Rockin' the Fillmore, Peter Frampton is returning to Omnivore Recordings - this time as a solo artist.  Frampton is coming alive once again via remastered reissues of 1986's Premonition, 1989's When All the Pieces Fit, and 2003's Now.  All three titles are due from Omnivore between August 28 and September 11.

Premonition returned Frampton to the Billboard charts and the airwaves after the disappointment of his final A&M album, 1982's The Art of Control.  Produced by Frampton and Pete Solley (The Romantics, Oingo Boingo), Premonition became the rocker's first album to make the Billboard Top 100 Albums chart in five years, while single "Lying" (one of four Frampton solo compositions on the album) was a Top 5 Mainstream Rock hit in addition to reaching the upper reaches of the Hot 100.   Steve Ferrone (Average White Band, Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers), Tony Levin (King Crimson), Richard Cottle (Alan Parsons Project), and Omar Hakim (Sting, David Bowie) all joined Frampton on the LP.  Two bonus tracks have been added to the original album sequence: B-side "So Far Away" and Quicksilver soundtrack cut "Nothing at All," both also from 1986.

Peter Frampton - When All the Pieces FitWhen All the Pieces Fit came three years later.  Once again, Frampton wrote or co-wrote every song on the LP.  This time, he was joined by partners including B.A. Robertson, Will Jennings, Danny Wilde, John Regan and Jon Dworkow.  Co-producing with Chris Lord-Alge (Tina Turner, Joe Cocker, Stevie Nicks), Frampton welcomed musicians to the sessions including Nathan East, Steve Ferrone and Lenny Castro.  Leadoff single "Holding On To You," co-written by Frampton and Jennings, made No. 27 on the Mainstream Rock chart and the album made No. 152 on the Billboard 200.

Peter Frampton - NowThe final entry in Omnivore's current batch of three jumps forward to 2003.  Now, originally released in 2003, was Frampton's 12th studio release. One song announced "I'm Back," referring to the long stretch between records.  (1994's self-titled Peter Frampton came in between Pieces and Now.)  Bob Mayo (of the Frampton Comes Alive band) joined his old friend on keyboards, and Mayo, Jed Leiber (Jerry's son) and Gordon Kennedy joined Frampton as co-writers on various tracks.  A rendition of George Harrison's Beatles classic "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" paid tribute to Frampton's friend George.

All three reissues have been newly remastered and feature new liner notes penned by Scott Schinder based on new interviews with Peter Frampton.  Premonition and When All the Pieces Fit are due on August 28 with Now following on September 11; all three albums will be available on both CD and DD formats!  You can peruse the track listings below and pre-order directly from Omnivore.  Amazon links will be added as soon as they are available.

    Not sure if you know this, but there was a B-side released during the "Pieces Fit" era called "Give Me a Love That's Real." I'm a bit surprised that Omnivore overlooked that track, but it is what it is.

      Truth. I have it on a cassette single as the B-side to Holding On To You. There is also another track that would've been great as a Premonition bonus: Distant Drums from the Playing For Keeps soundtrack.
